Dancing was inextricably inter.

and no festival or entertainment was
complete without the appropriate
dancing. In the early ages it was
kept up TO high standard, and Ho.
mer calls sleep, love, music and
dancing the sweetest and the most
perfect OF all human enjoyments, but
he dignifies the last only by the
epithet "blameless."
In his time this was doubtless
true. but as the times changed the
dances became a reflection OF the
degenerate morals, and they, too, be.
came degenerate. Athenaeus says
that dancing was brought to such
perfection In initiating the passions
that the most eminent sculptors often
took their models and designs from
the attitudes Of the public dancers.
and thus produced that great beauty

nave never been surpassed In the

dancers of all succeeding ages.

Spring. Artemis was first worshipped

joyful choruses round the affairs OF

sacred ballets the story OF the birth
