Poitropios
the month of December - honoring Zeus
"The Poitropia festival was an annual event that occurred during the winter month of Poitropios. While its exact date is uncertain, it is believed to have been a purification ritual, and may have been associated with the worship of Dionysos, Apollon and/or Zeus. The festival included award ceremonies and the granting of public honors, as evidenced by an inscription honoring Aristodama."
