What are some ancient Greek holidays? |
Ancient Greeks celebrated many holidays. They had a lunar calender which did not correspond to the calender we use today, so their holiday dates have no meaning to us. Many of the holidays were celebrated with festivals, some dominated by men, others dominated by the women. For entertainment, people took part in singing and dancing. There was also a sacrifice of one or more animals that were cut up, roasted and served for dinner.
