... The leap day was introduced as
part of the Julian reform. The day
following the Terminalia (February
23) was doubled, forming the 'bis
sextum - literally 'double
sixth', since February 24 was 'the
sixth day before the Kalends of
March' using Roman inclusive
counting (March 1 was the 'first
day').
Although exceptions exist, the first
day of the bis sextum
(February 24) was usually regarded
as the intercalated or 'bissextile'
day since the third century.
February 29 came to be regarded as
the leap day when the Roman system
of numbering days was replaced by
sequential numbering in the late
Middle Ages ...

... The divine names Bran,
Saturn, Cronos ... are applied to the ghost of
Hercules that floats off in the alder-wood boat
after his
midsummer sacrifice. His
tanist, or other self, appearing in Greek legend
as Poeas who lighted Hercules' pyre and
inherited his arrows, succeeds him for the
second half of the year; having acquired royal
virtue by marriage with the queen, the
representative of the White Goddess, and by
eating some royal part of the dead man's body -
heart, shoulder or thigh-flesh. He is in turn
succeeded by the New Year Hercules, a
reincarnation of the murdered man, who beheads
him and, apparently, eats his head. This
alternate eucharistic sacrifice made royalty
continous, each king in turn the Sun-god beloved
of the reigning Moon-goddess. But when these
cannibalistic rites were abandoned and the
system was gradually modified until a single
king reigned for a term of years,
Saturn-Cronos-Bran became a mere Old Year ghost,
permanently overthrown by Juppiter-Zeus-Belin
though yearly conjured up for placation at the
Saturnalia or Yule feast ...
... That Cronos
the emasculator was deposed by his
son Zeus is an economical statement:
the Achaean herdsmen who on their
arrival in Northern Greece had
identified their Sky-god with the
local oak-hero gained ascendancy
over the Pelasgian agriculturalists.
But there was a compromise between
the two cults. Dionë, or Diana, of
the woodland was identified with
Danaë of the barley; and that an
inconvenient golden sickle, not a
bill-hook of flint or obsidian, was
later used by the Gallic Druids for
lopping the mistletoe, proves that
the oak-ritual had been combined
with that of the barley-king whom
the Goddess Danaë, or Alphito, or
Demeter, or Ceres, reaped with her
moon-shaped sickle. Reaping meant
castration; similarly, the Galla
warriors of Abyssinia carry a
miniature sickle into battle for
castrating their enemies ...

... In view
of the almost universal
prevalence of the Pleiades year
throughout the Polynesian area
it is surprising to find that in
the South Island and certain
parts of the North Island of New
Zealand and in the neighboring
Chatham Islands, the year began
with the new Moon after the
yearly morning rising, not of
the Pleiades, but of the star

... Odysseus and his fleet were
now in a mythic realm of
difficult trials and passages,
of which the first was to be the
Land of the Cyclopes, 'neither
nigh at hand, nor yet afar off',
where the one-eyed giant
Polyphemus, son of the god
Poseidon (who, as we know, was
the lord of tides and of the Two
Queens, and the lord,
furthermore, of Medusa), dwelt
with his flocks in a cave. 'Yes,
for he was a monstrous thing and
fashioned marvelously, nor was
he like to any man that lives by
bread, but like a wooded peak of
the towering hills, which stands
out apart and alone from
others.' Odysseus, choosing
twelve men, the best of the
company, left his ships at shore
and sallied to the vast cave. It
was found stocked abundantly
with cheeses, flocks of lambs
and kids penned apart, milk
pails, bowls of whey; and when
the company had entered and was
sitting to wait, expecting
hospitality, the owner came in,
shepherding his flocks. He bore
a grievous weight of dry wood,
which he cast down with a din
inside the cave, so that in fear
all fled to hide. Lifting a
huge doorstone, such as two and
twenty good four-wheeled wains
could not have raised from the
ground, he set this against
the mouth of the cave, sat down,
milked his ewes and goats, and
beneath each placed her young,
after which he kindled a fire
and spied his guests
