Simon E. Festivals Of Attica. An Archaeological Commentary_univ. Of Wisconsin_press (1983)

The festivals of the Athenian sacred calendar constitute a vital key to classical Greek culture and religion. E. Simon sets out here to explicate those complex and often obscure festivals. By careful marshaling of a variety of proofs from literary, historical, and archaeological sources, she is able to justify some startling conclusions and achieve a comprehensive and truly original synthesis that clarifies, as never before, the probable origins and meanings of the Attic cults.
