Winter Liminalities: From Kronia to Kalikantzaroi
This December blog traces the cultural thread linking Greek mythological beings like Pan, satyrs and silenoi with the Roman Saturnalia and the Greek folklore of the Twelve Days of Christmas. It highlights how winter’s liminality, ritual inversion and playful disorder persist from antiquity to the καλικάντζαροι tradition. The ATTIC BLACK Winter Creatures Collection draws on this continuum through satyr-decorated kantharoi, creature-lamps and festive figurines inspired by ancient winter imagery.
