The "Swallow Song of Rhodes" is a famous ancient Greek folk song. In a tradition closely resembling the modern custom of trick-or-treating, during the month of Boedromion, the children on the Greek island of Rhodes would go out dressed as swallows and beg from door to door, singing the song. The song is preserved by the ancient Greek writer, Athenaeus of Naucratis, in his book, The Deipnosophists. On the Attic calendar, the month of Boedromion took place in early autumn. It usually began around mid-September and ended sometime around mid-October. On the Rhodian calendar, however, the month seems to have taken place in early spring. The tradition was claimed to have been started by the Rhodian lawgiver Cleobulus.

  • La "Canción de la golondrina de Rodas" es una famosa canción de la Antigua Grecia. Era una tradición similar a la moderna halloween (dulce o truco), durante el mes de boedromión: los niños de la isla de Rodas salían disfrazados a pedir de puerta en puerta, cantando la canción. Esta canción se preserva gracias al escritor griego antiguo, Ateneo de Náucratis, en su libro El banquete de los eruditos ("deipnosofistas"). En el calendario ático, el mes de boedromión tenía lugar en otoño, normalmente a mediados de septiembre, y finalizaba a mediados de octubre. En el calendario rodio (también llamado calendario helénico) tenía lugar en la primavera más temprana. La tradición fue iniciada por el legislador rodio Cleóbulo.​​​​ La melodía de la canción no ha sobrevivido, ni sus notaciones musicales, pero sí las letras. El texto de la canción en griego antiguo es: (es)
