In the Roman calendar, he was ninth in line, as his name indicates (novem=nine) The Romans had dedicated it to Poseidon and celebrated the Poseidonia.
For the ancient Greeks, November was the 5th month of the Attic year and had the name "Maimakterion". This name comes from one of the names of God Zeus who was also called "Maimaktis", i.e. stormy. He was the god of the weather, and mortals held a feast in his honor to secure his favor with prayers, so that the weather is not threatening and dangerous for humans and the winds are not particularly fierce.

Archangel Michael is considered as "the cat’ angel par excellence" and for this reason in certain areas, on the eve of his feast day, they brought their shoes inside the house so that the Archangel would not see them and come to take them before their time.
Since ancient times, various highly visible celestial objects have warned people as signs of weather changes. The best known example is the open Pleiades star cluster, better known as Puglia. From the time of Hesiod the setting of the Pleiades immediately after the setting of the Sun, which happens in mid-November, marked and marked the period of the coming of cold and warned the farmers to finish sowing.
