the skira
the panathenaea (, "all-athenian festival") was the most important festival for athens and one of the grandest in the entire ancient greek world. except for slaves, all inhabitants of the "polis" could take part in the festival. this holiday of great antiquity is believed to have been the observance of athena's birthday and honoured the goddess as the city's patron divinity, athena polias ('athena of the city'). a procession assembled before dawn at the dipylon gate in the northern sector of the city. the procession, led by the kanephoros, made its way to the areopagus and in front of the temple of athena nike next to the propylaea. only athenian citizens were allowed to pass through the propylaea and enter the acropolis. the procession passed the parthenon and stopped at the great altar of athena in front of the erechtheum. every four years a newly woven peplos was dedicated to athena.
