Periodic Ceremonies: The Spring Festival by Jane Ellen Harrison is a book that explores the ancient Greek festival of the spring equinox, also known as the Anthesteria. The author delves into the origins and significance of this festival, which was celebrated in honor of the god Dionysus and involved the drinking of wine and the performance of theatrical plays. Harrison examines the rituals and symbols associated with the Anthesteria, such as the use of flowers and the role of the dead in the festival. She also discusses the festival's place in the larger context of Greek religion and culture. Written in a scholarly yet accessible style, Periodic Ceremonies: The Spring Festival offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Greek religion and the ways in which it was expressed through ritual and celebration.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ancient Art and Ritual, by Jane Ellen Harrison.
