Herakleion, Aug 2 2009
#1
Depending on your festival calendar, it was the Boeotian Feast of Herakles last weekend. The Plataians got together to celebrate a birthday and we had games in honor of our patron hero. We also did a great deal of sword and spear drill, and practiced boar hunting. We had a few new recruits out, and eighteen people attended in kit.

We had competitions in honor of Herakles at archery, javelin throwing, one stade run, one stade run with an aspis, and longest throw of a javelin.
