About Anaxagoreia
The Anaxagoreia (Ancient Greek: Αναξαγόρεια) was a day of rest in ancient Lampsacus, during which children were forbidden to play outside the house. This "holiday" was dedicated to the philosopher Anaxagoras, who had been persecuted in Athens and sought refuge in Lampsacus. The celebration was held annually and continued until the time of Diogenes Laertius.
