About Diisoteria
The Diisoteria was an ancient Greek festival celebrated in the city of Piraeus, in the region of Attica. It was dedicated to the deities Zeus Soter and Athena Soteira (where "Soter" and "Soteira" are epithets, each meaning 'Saviour'). The central element of the festival was a procession that ended at the temple dedicated to the two gods in Piraeus. As early as the 4th century BC, there was a procession to a shrine of Zeus Soter in the city, and an inscription from the same century mentions the sale of a large number of skins of animals sacrificed as part of the festival. Two inscriptions from.
