An Athenian Festival (c), so call'd from Pandion, by whom it was first instituted; or because it was celebrated in honour of Iupiter, who does 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. move and turn all things which way he pleaseth. Others are of Opinion, that it belong'd to the Moon, and re∣ceiv'd it's Name, because she does 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, i. e. move incessantly, for that the Moon appears both in the Night, and Day; whereas the Sun shows himself by Day only, and was suppos'd to rest all Night. It was celebrated after the 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, or Festival of Bacchus, because that God is sometimes put for the Sun, or Apollo, and was by some reputed to be the Brother, by others the Son of the Moon.
