Headword:
*)orgew=nes
Adler number: omicron,511
Translated headword: orgeones
Vetting Status: high
Translation: [Meaning] those who 'orgize' to privately established gods. To 'orgize' is to perform the 'orgia' of the gods, that is, mysteries[1] and usages. [Book] 4 of
Laws [says]: "No internal acquisition of shrines in private houses. He that is shown to have acquired additional ones and to be "orgizing", other than the public [cults]."[2]
Seleukos in his
Memorandum of Solon's Axones[3] says that those holding gatherings about certain heroes or gods are called orgeones. Then, by transference, they call the priests by this name too. At any rate Antimachos in
Lyde [writes]: "by descent Kabarnians, he made them renowned orgeones".[4] Similarly
Aeschylus in
Mysians, addressing the priest of
Kaikos: "Hail, first orgeon of the river
Kaikos, may you save the masters with Paionian prayers".[5] About the orgeones Philochoros, too, has written:[6] "compulsory for the phratores to accept both the orgeones and the homogalaktes, whom we call gennetai".[7]
