Aiora - Tumblr Posts

The people sought help from Delphi, and Apollon informed them that they needed to pay respects to Erigone and her father. So they gave them a proper burial and instituted the festival of Aiora in their honor. In return, Dionysos stopped the girls from killing themselves and made the land fruitful once more. At the Aiora young girls would hang ribbons, little cups, and dolls from the branches of trees and let themselves be pushed on a swing.
