The Praxiergidae Decree (<i>IG</i> I<sup>3</sup> 7) and the Dressing of Athena’s Statue with the <i>Peplos</i>
Abstract
A new arrangement of the fragments the Praxiergidae decree and new restorations reveal that this genos is now (mid-fifth century) instructed to see to dressing the statue of Athena with peplos and mantle (the Callynteria), just after these had been washed (Plynteria)--an old custom of Boeotian origin, while the presentation of a new peplos at the Panathenaea was an Athenian innovation of the fifth century.Downloads
