Arrhephoria was a feast among the Athenians, instituted in honor of Athena. Boys, or, as some say, girls, between 7 and 12 years of age, were the ministers that assisted at this feast. The word is derived from the Greek Template:Polytonic, which is composed of Template:Polytonic, "mystery", and Template:Polytonic, "I carry". This feast was also called Hersiphoria, from Herse, the daughter of Cecrops, on whose account it was established.
