A festival celebrated[1] in
Athens, [sc. at the time of year] when Kore seems to go away.
*prosxairhth/ria: e(orth\ par' *)aqhnai/ois grafome/nh, o(/te dokei= a)pie/nai h( *ko/rh.
From Harpokration s.v., commenting on the headword's appearance in the orator
Lycurgus (fr.50 Conomis). This festival is attested only there and in the lexicography flowing therefrom.
For Kore (a.k.a. Persephone), daughter of Demeter, see
kappa 2077; she 'goes away' to spend part of the year in the Underworld.
