Talk:Thesmophoria

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] The "Thesmorphia" (!) page should be deleted

An illiterate error, the Thesmophoria were never called that, and someone ignorant of the etymology, but with a vague memory of the facts, threw up that page. Bill 09:52, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, I did so (and merged the only non-redundant info). Vultur 17:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wasn't it winter?

Every source I've ever seen says that Persephone was in Hades during winter, not summer. Vultur 17:29, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

...during the dead season, whenever that fell in their three-season year. --Wetman 22:05, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Greece does have quite cold winters. Their dead season was winter. Vultur 01:10, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
