The Greek Calendar

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the sources for the study of Greek calendars, the interpretations of those sources, the forms and functions of the calendar, and its variety and change over time. Because the origins and management of those calendars were related to astronomical processes, the chapters on astronomy, meteorology, agriculture, and time-telling devices are relevant to their understanding.
