LESSER QUINQUATRUS
The Greater Quinquatrus to Minerva was celebrated on March 19â23, and the lesser rites to Minerva were held on June 13â15. Minerva, as the Goddess of Flutes and Pipes, explains:
âMy festival called the Quinquatrus is celebrated in March,â Minerva said.
âI am the Patroness of Flute Players!
I was the first to make the long flute pipes
Resonate with music by cutting holes at intervals in boxwood.
It pleased me to play the flute.
But when I saw my face reflected in a pool of clear water.
My youthful cheeks were all puffed out.
The sound of the flute is not worth that.
Good-bye, dear flute, I said. â¦
Nevertheless, I am the inventor of the flute and the first composer of flute music.
That is why this day is sacred to flute players.â (Ovid Fasti 6.695-710)
