The Panathenaic Procession: Every year, in order to celebrate Athena's birthday, Athenians celebrated the Panathenaia Festival carrying the ''Peplus''. Image by Greg Ruhl. The Peplus was suspended like a sail from the yards on the mast of the Panathenaic Ship (Schol. on Hom. Il. v. 734), which was an actual ship, very large and beautiful. The marvellous appearance of a ship going through the streets was effected by subterranean machines. (Philostr. Vit. Soph. ii. 1, 5, ).
