Pyanopsia /ˌpaɪəˈnɒpʃə, -ˈnɒpsiə/ (Πυανόψια) or Pyanepsia /ˌpaɪəˈnɛpʃə, -ˈnɛpsiə/ (Πυανέψια) was an ancient Greek festival in honor of Apollo, held at Athens on the 7th of the month Pyanepsion (October/November). Its name literally means "bean-stewing", in reference to the sacred offerings given during this time, and is derived from the Greek words πύανος - pyanos "bean" and ἕψειν - hepsein "to boil" (the root of the verb variates between ὀπ- - op- and ἑπ- - hep-; cf. ὄπτησις - optesis "baking"). | [[Pyanopsia]] /ˌpaɪəˈnɒpʃə, -ˈnɒpsiə/ ([[Πυανόψια]]) or [[Pyanepsia]] /ˌpaɪəˈnɛpʃə, -ˈnɛpsiə/ ([[Πυανέψια]]) was an ancient Greek festival in honor of Apollo, held at Athens on the 7th of the month Pyanepsion (October/November).

A hodge-podge of pulse was prepared into a stew and offered to Apollo (in his capacity as sun god and ripener of fruits) and the Horae, as the first-fruits of the autumn harvest. | A hodge-podge of pulse was prepared into a stew and offered to Apollo (in his capacity as sun god and ripener of fruits) and the Horae, as the first-fruits of the autumn harvest. | ||
