Labdakos to Lethe Leto to Lysizonos
A ceremony in Athens to honor Athene (Athena), Hephaistos (Hephaestus) and Prometheus.
Lighted torches were carried by runners from the outskirts of the city to the Akropolis (Acropolis); after the first Persian War (490 BCE), Pan was also honored in this ceremony because when the Athenian messenger, Phidippides, was running to Sparta to ask the city’s aid, Pan met him on the road and promised to assist the Athenians in the pending battle.
