This attractive book presents a general introduction to the Greater Panathenaia, the week-long religious and civic festival held at Athens every four years in honor of the city’s patron goddess, Athena.

[Agora Deposit] U 26:1: Oinochoe Deposit

Washed-in filling at the base of the Acropolis cliffs, some 7m. east of the Klepsydra; the fill was characterized by teh fragments of a series of red-figured oinochoai of special shape, of the late 5th ... Late 3rd c. B.C ... The characteristic shape and decoration show certainly that the oinochoes were made for some special cult purpose. the armed Athena, in the style of the Athenas of the Panathenaic amphoras, on the necks of two of the vases, and the helmeted Athena who mounts a chariot in the figured scene on the body in, apparently, every case suggest not merely a general connection with the cult of the goddess,but a specific association with teh festival of the Panathenaia; while the mammae which appear on the shoulders of all teh vases point with even greater certainty to a fertility cult.
