Metageitnia (Ancient Greek: Μεταγείτνια, μετά γειτονία literally change of neighborhood) was an Ancient Greek festival held in Athens during the month Metageitnion (August/September) in the honor of Metageitnius Apollo.[1][2] The month of Metageitnion was named after the festival Metageitnia, which celebrated the migration of Theseus from Melite to Diomeia.[3] The celebration of the festival itself declined over time and was replaced by the Apaturia.[4] The festival evolved into a celebration of migrations, immigrations, departures, and colonizations among the Ionians - Metageitnius Apollo presided over the metoikia (the abode).
The Metageitnia is also mentioned by Plutarch in the treatise On Exile in Moralia.[5][6]
