Festivals of Attica by Erika Simon
The festivals of the Athenian sacred calendar constitute a vital key to classical Greek culture and religion. Erika Simon sets out here to explicate those complex and often obscure festivals. By careful marshalling of a variety of proofs from literary, historical, and archaeological sources, she is able to justify some startling conclusions and achieve a comprehensive and truly original synthesis that clarifies, as never before, the probable origins and meanings of the Attic cults.
"[One] cannot finish the book without feeling that he has seen real people caught in the act of veneration" - David E. Roessel, Archaeological News
Erika Simon is professor of classical archaeology at the University of Wurzburg.
