At See also:Athens it took See also:place in the See also:month of Pyanepsion (See also:October to See also:November), and lasted three days, on which occasion the various phratries (i.e. clans) of See also:Attica met to discuss their affairs. The name is a slightly modified See also:form of alraropLa = d,ua1raropta, oµo2rarapta, the festival of "See also:common relationship." The ancient See also:etymology associated it with aaarn (deceit), a See also:legend existing that the festival originated in 1 too B.C. in See also:commemoration of a single combat between a certain Melanthus, representing See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)
- KING [OF OCKHAM], PETER KING, 1ST BARON (1669-1734)
- KING, CHARLES WILLIAM (1818-1888)
- KING, CLARENCE (1842–1901)

- KING, HENRY (1591-1669)
- KING, RUFUS (1755–1827)
- KING, THOMAS (1730–1805)

King Thymoetes of Attica, and King See also:Xanthus of See also:Boeotia, in which Melanthus successfully threw his adversary off his guard by crying that a See also:man in a See also:black See also:goat's skin (identified with See also:Dionysus) was helping him (Schol. See also:Aristophanes, Acharnians, 146). On the first See also:day of the festival, called Dorpia or Dorpeia, banquets were held towards evening at the See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting-place of the phratries or in the private houses of members. On the second, Anarrhysis (from avappbeuv, to draw back the victim's See also:head), a See also:sacrifice of oxen was offered at the public cost to See also:Zeus Phratrius and See also:Athena. On the third day, Cureotis (K0Upewres), See also:children See also:born since the last festival were presented by their fathers or guardians to the assembled phratores, and, after an See also:oath had been taken as to their See also:legitimacy and the sacrifice of a goat or a See also:sheep, their names were inscribed in the See also:register. The name KoupeWTLS is derived either from Kovpos, that is, the day of the See also:young, or less probably from KELaW, because on this occasion young See also:people cut their See also:hair and offered it to the gods. The victim was called yeiov. On this day also it was the See also:custom for boys still at school to declaim pieces of See also:poetry, and to receive prizes (See also:Plato, See also:Timaeus; 21 B). According to See also:Hesychius these three days of the festival were followed by a See also:fourth, called i ri.(33a, but this is merely a See also:general See also:term for the day after any festival.
