The Eleusinian Mysteries were initiation rites for the cult of the goddesses Demeter and Persephone, celebrated annually in the city of Eleusis, in ancient Greece.
They commemorate Demeter’s search for her daughter Persephone after she was abducted by Hades and taken to the underworld.
This sacred road included sanctuaries, temples, and holy sites, as well as numerous tombs and monuments…
In this video, we explore what remains of the ancient sacred road.
