Boëdromia

（Βοηδρόμια). A festival celebrated at Athens on the seventh day of the month of Boëdromion, in honour of Apollo Boëdromios (Müller, Dor. ii. 8.5). The name Boëdromios, 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 assistance in the dangers of war. The origin of the festival is, however, traced by different authors to different events in Grecian story. See Plutarch, Theseus, 27.
