(July-Aug.). 2. Metageitnion (Aug.-Sept.). 3.
Bo["e]dromion (Sept.-Oct.). 4. Pyanepsion (Oct.-Nov.).
5. M[ae]macterion (Nov.-Dec.). 6. Poseideon
(Dec.-Jan.). 7. Gamelion (Jan.-Feb.). 8. Anthesterion
(Feb.-Mar.). 9. Elaphebolion (Mar.-Apr.). 10. Munychion
(Apr.-May). 11. Thargelion (May-June). 12. Scirophorion
(June-July). A fixed relation to the seasons was
maintained by introducing an intercalary month, ``the
second Poseideon,'' at first in an inexact way,
afterward in years 3, 5, 8, 11, 13, 16, 19 of the
Metonic cycle. Dates were reckoned in Olympiads.
