@pagan @antiquidons The last day of the #Anthesteria is called #Chytroi or #Khýtroi, 'The Pots'. It's a festival of the dead where fruit or pulse is offered to the souls of the dead, who are then bidden to depart, and to #Hermes Chthonios, who should guide them back to the underworld. No one is supposed to eat the pottage, which is food of the dead. A rehearsal to select the players for the City Dionysia also takes place on this day.
