ABSTRACT
The connection with agriculture is emphasized by Erika Simon in Festivals of Attika. An Archaeological Commentary (1983), and this connection is the main subject of Allaire Brisbane Chandor, 'The Attic Festivals of Demeter and their Relation to the Agricultural Year' (1976). To her, as to us, Martin P. Nilsson's Primitive Time-Reckoning (1920), like his many other pioneering works, is still of great value.
