+The package provides easy access to ancient greek names of days and months 
+of various regions of Greece. In case the hostorical information about a 
+region is not complete, we use the Athenian name of the month. Moreover 
+commands and options are provided, in order to completely switch to the 
+"ancient way", commands such as \today.
+
+In the meanwhile (since 2001) I have found, through more history research, 
+that the way \today should be structured must be a bit different. I will 
+fix this in a later release.
+
+The package prefers to be useful (say to Greek Gentiles) than to be 
+historically accurate (for example a 13th month used in the ancient 
+calendar is not implemented here as it would not be useful). However, 
+even historians who are not gentiles may find interesting the information 
+presented in the package.
