Boedromia 2010 Festival in honour of the Protector of Warriors, Apollon Boedromos (run to help someone, to run, cry for aid, hasten to help). Boedromia (Βοηδρομια), Boedromion (Βοηδρομιων). This is the month where the Greater Eleusian Mysteries are performed, where the year began which was so vital to the Greeks. Celebrated on the 7th day of the month of Boedromion (September). The name Boedromos by which Apollo was called in Boeotia and other parts of Greece, seems to indicate that by this festival he was honoured as a martial God, who either by his actual presence or by his oracles afforded assitance in the dangers of war. The origin of the festival is, however, traced by different authors to different events in Greek history. Plutarch (Thes.27) says that Theseus, in his war against the Amazons, did not give battle till after he had offered a sacrifice to Phobos; and, that in commemoration of the successful battle took place in the month of Boedromion, the Athenians, down to his own time, continued to celebrate the festival of the Boedromia. The Ancient Hoplitikon has continued the ritual and will be celebrated annually. Colours: Red and Gold, Element: Fire, Altar: Upon cloth of red and gold place a fiery sun, two crossed spears, and three torches. Offerings: Song and Music, Daily Meal: Food of yellow and red, Boedromia Invocation: ΑΠΟΛΛΟΝ      |
