Only women celebrated Adonia, a festival to mourn the death and resurrection of Adonis.
The festival was supposed to last two days. On the first day, Greek women observed all the rites
customary at funerals. The second day was spent in merriment and feasting; because Adonis was
allowed to return to life, and spend eight months of the year with Aphrodite (the other four with
Persephone Queen of the Underworld).
The Greek women would also make Adonis Gardens by sowing quick-growing seeds into
shallow trays or pots.
