Kakodaimonistai
Kakodaimonistai (ancient Greek κακοδαιμονισταί, singular κακοδαιμονιστής, worshippers of the evil deamon) was the name of a dining club in ancient Athens. They chose the name to ridicule the gods and Athenian custom.[1] One of the ways in which they did this, was by dining on unlucky days (ἡμέραι ἀποφράδες) to test the gods.[2]
