Ἐλευσίνια μυστήρια

Wikipedia EL

Τα Ελευσίνια ήταν γιορτή και μυστηριακή τελετή που πραγματοποιούνταν στην Ελευσίνα της Αττικής προς τιμήν της θεάς Δήμητρας και της Περσεφόνης. Κατά κοινή παραδοχή, επρόκειτο για την ιερότερη και πιο σεβαστή τελετή από όλες τις γιορτές της αρχαίας Ελλάδας: έχοντας ξεκινήσει από τη Σαμοθράκη και τα Καβείρια Μυστήρια μεταφέρθηκαν στην Ελευσίνα από Θράκες αποίκους. Άρχισαν να αποκτούν μεγάλη φήμη κατά τον καιρό του Πεισίστρατου και έφτασαν στο απόγειο της ακμής τους κατά το χρυσό Αιώνα του Περικλή.

The Eleusinian Mysteries (Greek: Ἐλευσίνια μυστήρια, romanized: Eleusínia Mystḗria) were initiations held every year for the cult of Demeter and Persephone based at the Panhellenic Sanctuary of Eleusis in ancient Greece. They are the "most famous of the secret religious rites of ancient Greece". Their basis was an old agrarian cult, and there is some evidence that they were derived from the religious practices of the Mycenean period. The Mysteries represented the myth of the abduction of Persephone from her mother Demeter by the king of the underworld Hades, in a cycle with three phases: the descent (loss), the search, and the ascent, with the main theme being the ascent (ἄνοδος) of Persephone and the reunion with her mother. It was a major festival during the Hellenic era, and later spread to Rome. Similar religious rites appear in the agricultural societies of Near East and in Minoan Crete.
