# The Translations Of The Words

I now use the terms of the ancient Athenian calendar. So I'll post
these English translations for you.

But only the terms. Not to confuse the readers, for date I'll still
use the Gregorian calendar. You might not be used to lunisolar
calendars.

Therefore using these terms for the months on a solar calendar is
in fact just an approximation. For example, a new year starts at
the winter solstice on this website. But on the ancient Athenian
calendar a new year starts at the first new moon after the summer
solstice.
