Description
To learn about the origin of the Hybristika festival, commemorating Telesilla's leadership in the Battle of Sepeia, in which women dress as men and men as women for a day, and to relate them to the Fiestas of Santa Águeda, in which, for a day, the command of the Castilian cities is in the hands of women, and men take over the domestic sphere.
