This Day in Ancient History
This was the third and last day of the Greek new wine festival, Anthesteria, called the Chytrai for the pots of food people brought to the cemetery as offerings for the dead.
This was also the first day of the Roman festival Parentalia or All Soul's Time, a ten day observation for remembering the good dead of the Greek and Roman cultures.
