köken: Originally “met sint-juttemis als de kalveren op het ijs dansen”, meaning “on Saint Judith’s (17 August) when the calves dance on the ice”, clearly an impossible feat, it being summer.
köken: Attributed by Suetonius in Lives of the Twelve Caesars to Caesar Augustus. The kalends (also written calends) were specific days of the Roman calendar (the first of the month), not of the Greek, and so the “Greek Kalends” would never occur.
