The year on Delos and in Boiotia, one for a long time Athens' subject and the other always Athens' neighbour, began midwinter and not midsummer, just like the modern calendar, so the opening sentence of entry needs adjusting.

This article on the Hellenic calendars is so badly written, it literally makes my TEETH HURT. Let's give these "sentences" (term loosely used) a go, shall we? --
The month in which the year began, as well as the names of the months, differed in the different countries of Greece, and in some parts even no names existed for the months, they being distinguished only numerically, as the first, second, third, fourth month, &c. In order, therefore, to acquire any satisfactory knowledge of the Greek calendar, the different states must be considered separately.
"In some parts even no names existed"...evil portent of muck to follow.
"Differed in the different countries??" ...jeez louISE...let's see -- were the folks living there DIFFIDENT? Or is that too DIFFICULT to work out..?? Lord.
"...no names existed for months, they being distinguised..." OUCH!! PLEASE GOD, STOP NOW...you just broke about 18 different rules of style, grammar and syntax in ONE FREAKING SENTENCE. STOP IT!!
Ah, Wikipedia. Where anybody can write authoritatively on anything!! Ain't it great? Now, where's that shortcut for Encarta hiding? (I disown and of course have no knowledge of ANY style or grammar errors in my OWN comments, of course! ;-)...or would that be "grammatical" errors...? hmmmmm...too many ellipses...

I think that "Phliastos" in the Laconian system should probably be Phliasios or Fliasios. I am no expert, and am therefore unwilling to change this in the article. But I do think it's wrong as it stands. Mjhrynick ( talk) 01:59, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
The article's former name notwithstanding, it has nothing to do with the post-Alexandrian Hellenic world and is focused on ancient Greece. Pending very good sources to the contrary, I don't think we should even mention the former name on this page. It should be rebuilt into a dab for all the Hellenic calendars, including Egypt, Syria, Macedonia, and Persia. — LlywelynII 23:55, 19 March 2017 (UTC)
