Kronia

Kronia is a Hellenic festival. Festival of Kronos — the golden age remembered. Masters and slaves ate together; normal social hierarchies were inverted. A day of equality and communal feasting, remembering the mythic age before division. One of the few festivals with strong evidence for role-reversal as a sacred act. Not a dark festival despite Kronos's associations.
