Holidays, celebrations, and ancient Greek festivals 776-330 BC

Abstract

There are numerous ancient Greek holidays, celebrations, and festivals, which cannot be exhaustively listed. Each city had its own special holidays that were held on its land or in specific cities such as Delphi, Athens, or the island of Delos, and they were categorized under various names, including holidays, festivals, or celebrations. The researcher attempted to document them to the best of her ability, as well as to establish their historical timeframes. In any case, these events shed light on a social aspect of ancient Greek history and reflect the extent of the people's relationship with the governments of that era.
