Archon Basileus Greek language Greek was a Ancient Greece Greek title, meaning king magistrate the term is derived from the words archon magistrate and basileus monarch king or Monarch sovereign . Most modern scholars claim without any real evidence that in classical Athens , the Archon Basileus was the last remnant of monarchy. Although much of his powers, they say, had been filtered away to other institutions such as the Areopagus and later the Boule ancient Greece Boule and Ecclesia ancient Athens Ecclesia , he still nominally held a high position in Athenian society, alongside the Eponymous Archon and Polemarch. The Archon Basileus was charged with overseeing the organisation of religious rites. There is a tradition that originally the Archon Basileus was elected from the Athenian aristocracy every ten years. After 683 BC , the office was only held for a year, and after Solon s reforms, he was elected from the wealthiest Athenians, the Pentakosiomedimnoi , 500 bushel men , rather than the Eupatridae , the aristocractic families . After 487 BC , the Archonships were assigned by lot. It is believed the Basileus Archon s wife, the Basilinna , had to marry and have intercourse with the god Dionysos during a festival at the Boukoleion in Athens, to ensure the city s safety. ref Stanton, p. 7. ref It is uncertain how this was enacted. However, this was an important role for a woman who, according to Plutarch and Solon, would otherwise be confined to the house and be of little importance. During antiquity, women in Greece served as priestesses and presented oracle s such as those issued at Delphic Oracle Delphi . References reflist Sources Stanton, G.R.

For the genus of sapphire hummingbird s, see Basilinna bird . Basilinna lang grc was the title of the wife of the basileus Archon Basileus of ancient Athens . During the festival of Anthesteria , the basilinna was given as the ceremonial bride to Dionysus . She was attended to by the gerarai fourteen gerarai at this time. This is explained by what happened in the myth of Theseus and Ariadne , where Theseus soon to be king of Athens had eloped with the Cretan princess, Ariadne. But, no sooner had this occurred, that Dionysus claimed her as his own. Or, as it is claimed, Ariadne was already betrothed to Dionysus. References Otto, Walter F. Dionysus, Myth and Cult.
