hellenismo:Τετάρτη Μεσοῦντος/ Τετρὰς ἐπὶ δέκα/ Τεσσαρεκαιδεκάτη, XIV day From today’s sunset: fourteenth day of Metageitnion. The fourteenth day of each month is called “the most sacred” because “(Hesiod) praises the fourteenth day both as the day of the opening of the jars and as the best of all; in fact, the lunar light is rich..the Moon reaches the middle of the total distance into which accomplishes her journey…since in the middle, in relation to the circle, perfection is found…” Scholia Erga, 819 (Detail of Selene; Early 3rd cent. CE. now in the Metropolitan Museum…) -- source link
