The Stories of the Months and Days

The Stories of the Months and Days is a book by Reginald C. Couzens, first published in 1923. This engaging work delves into the etymology and mythology behind the names of our months and days, tracing their origins to ancient civilizations and their pantheons.

Couzens illuminates how these time divisions, now so commonplace, are steeped in rich narratives from cultures that once worshipped multiple deities and interpreted natural phenomena through myth. The book offers readers a journey through time, revealing the stories and meanings that have shaped our calendar and, by extension, our perception of time itself.
