The New Demos Athene...

Today is the 24th of Gamelion; the day is sacred to Trietericus, Amphietus Bacchus, Silenus, Satyrus and the Bacchantes. It is described in Works and Days as being "fraught with fate". Aromatic incense (except Frankencense) is recommended.

The gods that are honored today are known as the "rural" or "rustic" dieties, as they were the gods and dieties of the country side and undeveloped natural areas, as opposed to the Greek city-states. Like the untamed areas they oversaw, these gods were known for being rowdy and sometimes downright crude.


Yahoo!Geocities is no longer the home of the Online Temple of Demos Athene; on Wednesday Jan. 30th, the entire site of Demos Athene was lost. The site has now moved to:

http://demosathene.tripod.com/demosathene/index.html

The site is still under construction - I will make progress announcements here.
