“There’s her cousin, an she were to possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first of May doth the last of December.” William ShakespeareDating back to pagan times as a festival of flowers, May Day, the first of the month, has long been celebrated as a European spring festival. As usual, the Greeks got there first: this was the day of the goddess Maia. The eldest of the Pleiades, mother of Zeus by Hermes she welcomed the month of Maios, May.
