in Grecian Antiquity, a Lesbian festival, at which the women assembled in the sanctuary of Juno, where the prize of beauty was adjudged to the fairest. A similar contention took place among the Parrhasians at the festival of Ceres Eleusinia; and there was another among the Eleans, in which the most beautiful man received a complete suit of armour which he consecrated to Minerva; to whose temple, after being adorned with a myrtle wreath and with ribbons, he was accompanied by his friends.
