The tradition & historical record

1 min read · 1 source

Hekatombaia (m.kreik. Ἑκατόμβαια) tai Hekatomboia (Ἑκατόμβοια) (lat. Hecatombaea/Hecatomboea) oli antiikin kreikkalainen juhla, joka sai nimensä silloin suoritetusta hekatombiuhrista eli sadan härän uhraamisesta. Juhla tunnetaan muun muassa Ateenasta, jossa se oli omistettu Apollonille. Ateenassa juhlaa vietettiin siitä nimensä saaneen Hekatombaion-kuun 7. päivä eli heinä-elokuun aikoihin. Hekatombaion-kuu oli attikalaisessa kalenterissa vuoden ensimmäinen kuukausi, ja Hekatombaia vuoden ensimmäinen suurempi juhla. Juhla tunnetaan myös muun muassa Aiginalta ja Argoksesta, jossa se oli omistettu Heralle, sekä Delfoista, Delokselta, Lakoniasta (Spartasta) ja Tegeasta.
