Thiasos Olümpikos: Year 22
The Twenty Second Year of Thiasos Olümpikos, and the Month of Hekatombaion, began at Sundown on 2 July 2011 of the Common Era. It is the Third Year of the 697th Olümpiad, and 2788 Apo Katagraphes Olümpiadon (AKO); which is to say, the 2,788th year after the first recording of the Olümpic Games.
Now to our Liturgical Calendar
There were no events in the Month of Hekatombaion, and due to reconstruction projects on both Greyhaven and Rhinoceros Lodge, as well as your Arkieros working for a living on stage for the summer, things are way out of kilter with regard to the calendar. It can't be helped: there are not enough people to do the work: but next year should be back on schedule.

We have been pursuaded to include the general location of events. We hope this will be of help in planning your attendance at dromena, and will not bring us any unwanted attention from those whose only purpose would be disruption.
We here offer many, many thanks to Maureen Reddington-Wilde and Craig Counterman whose Olümpiad Calendar is of constant and enormous help. That most excellent Olympiad Calendar can be accessed on the Net at

When you get there, click on the year icon to go to the detailed monthly calendar. The calendar does a wonderful job of listing traditional festivals and the dates on which, in Ancient Times, they were traditionally held.
It is worth noting that the Ancients had few qualms about moving some of the dates around to fit circumstance when need arose, so we are on solid ground in trying to fit our festivals somewhere near the proper dates.
Big houses or buildings for overnight events are also always in short supply. If you think you might be able to help, please communicate with us!
