On this day, the Greeks celebrated the New Year. Athens had no real festival to mark the beginning of the year, although magistrates and councils made sacrifices to Zeus the savior and Athena the savior on the last day of the previous month. They sought the city's protection for the coming year. The new archon took the oath in the New Year and his first act was to proclaim that everything everyone owned would continue to be his. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #June 30 #Athens #Hekatombaion
