Festivals were celebrated in honour of Minerva wherever her worship was held — some, the Greek Panathenæa, for instance, only every four years; others, such as the Minervalia and Quinquatria, every year. […] In vain poor Actæon strained every muscle. […] He could not bear the thought of the terrible fate awaiting her, and tried every means in his power to save her. […] Proserpina could not refute the charge, and Jupiter decreed that for every seed she had eaten she should spend one month of every year in her husband’s gloomy kingdom. […] Vainly the hero applied every healing herb.
