ΛΙΝΔΟΣ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΛΙΝΔΟΣ
In the island of Rhodes, when the swallows returned (i. e. in
the month Boedromion), boys, called chelidonistai, went from house to house asking
gifts, professedly for the swallows, and singing a song that has been preserved
in Athenaeus. The practice (chelidonia) was said to have been introduced by Cleobulus
of Lindus at a time when the town was in great distress.
