CHITO′NIA (χιτώνια), a festival celebrated in the Attic town of Chitone in honour of Artemis, surnamed Chitona or Chitonia (Schol. ad Callimach. Hymn. in Artem. 78). The Syracusans also celebrated a festival of the same name, and in honour of the same deity, which was distinguished by a peculiar kind of dance, and a playing on the flute (Athen. XIV p629; Steph. Byz. s.v. Χιτώνη).
