Rejoice, blessed Leto, for you bare glorious children, the lord Apollo and Artemis who delights in arrows; her in Ortygia, and him in rocky Delos.
As the summer in Greece begins, the preparations for the Thargelia (Θαργήλια) Festival within Corinth Bay have begun as well. This festival is dedicated to the twin gods Artemis and Apollo; signifying a rebirth of the city. On the 6th, the day is dedicated to Artemis, driving out the evil spirits of the land and purifying the town. Ritualistic alters and wine pouring will be located throughout the city. Hymns and laurels will be given out to those who wish to participate. Eiresiones, the personification of a sacred object, is situated upon an alter, ofr gifts of olive oil, bread, or spices to appease the goddess.
On the 7th, the day is dedicated to Apollo, who welcomes in the new harvest and the new offerings to bless the rest of the year until the festival comes around once more.
There will be booths located throughout the city offering laurel crowns, jars of olive oil and manna bread, and endless wine and music to enjoy the new season within Corinth Bay. The focus is on Apollo and Artemis, so lyres and bow and arrow challenges will be available to those who think they are the greatest of their time.
