[Angels & Demons]

Odysses, do you have a citation for where Pausanias describes the Χύτρινοι αγώνες? As far as I can tell, the LSJ only gives Apollodorus and Philochoros in that entry. Akhilleus 06:22, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

    Akhilleus, I found something about χύτροι (not Χύτρινοι αγώνες as I thought) in Anthesteria:

        E. Rohde and M. P. Nilsson, however, take the χύτροι to mean "water vessels," and connect the ceremony with the Hydrophoria, a libation festival to propitiate the dead who had perished in the flood of Deucalion.
