Apanegyris (Ancient Greek:πανήγυρις "gathering"), is anAncient Greek general, national or religious assembly.[1][2][3] Each was dedicated to the worship of a particulargod. It is also associated with saint days and holy festivals.[4][5] Panegyris is used in three ways: A meeting of the inhabitants from one town and its vicinity, a meeting of inhabitants of an entire province, district, or of people belonging to a particular tribe, and for national meetings. The panegyreis were festivals in which prayers were made, sacrifices offered, and also processions.[6]
Πανήγυρις is also transliterated aspanegyry,[7] and in turn, some sources definepanegyry to beapanegyric.[8][9]A panegyric is a formal public speech. This could be a separate usage of panegyry, an obsolete usage, or simply an error.
