Literature | City of the Violet Crown Athens is so called by Aristophanes ?????????? (see Equites, 1323 and 1329; and Acharnians, 637). Macaulay refers to Athens as the "violet-crowned city." Ion (a violet) was a representative king of Athens, whose four sons gave names to the four Athenian classes; and Greece, in Asia Minor, was called Ionia. Athens was the city of "Ion crowned its king" or "of the Violet crowned." Similarly Paris is the "city of lilies"- i.e. fleurs-de-luce or Louis-flowers. I do not think that Athens was called from "the purple hue which Hymettus assumed in the evening sky." Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
