hellenismo: Πέμπτη Μεσοῦντος/ Πέμπτη ἐπὶ δέκα / Πεντεκαιδεκάτη, XV day From today’s sunset: fifteenth day of Metageitnion. The fifteenth of the month is always sacred to Athena. Most probable day for the beginning of the Agones in Eleusis- Ta Eleusinia (Mikra)- in honor of Demeter and Kore. On the fifteenth day of Metageitnion, a private sacrificial calendar prescribe the offering of a popanon and a libation without wine to the Goddesses (IG II2 1367, 1-3): perhaps, a private celebration of the Eleusinia.
