Greek calendar
(gcide) | Greek calendar \Greek calendar\
1. Any of various calendars used by the ancient Greek states.
Note: The Attic calendar divided the year into twelve
months of 29 and 30 days, as follows: 1. Hecatomb[ae]on
(July-Aug.).
2. Metageitnion (Aug.-Sept.).
3. Bo["e]dromion (Sept.-Oct.).
4. Pyanepsion (Oct.-Nov.).
5. M[ae]macterion (Nov.-Dec.).
6. Poseideon (Dec.-Jan.).
7. Gamelion (Jan.-Feb.).
8. Anthesterion (Feb.-Mar.).
9. Elaphebolion (Mar.-Apr.).
10. Munychion (Apr.-May).
11. Thargelion (May-June).
12. Scirophorion (June-July). A fixed relation to the
seasons was maintained by introducing an intercalary
month, "the second Poseideon," at first in an inexact
way, afterward in years 3, 5, 8, 11, 13, 16, 19 of the
Metonic cycle. Dates were reckoned in Olympiads.
