"For more than one thousand years, people from every corner of the Greco-Roman world
sought the hope for a blessed afterlife through initiation into the Mysteries of Demeter
and Kore at Eleusis. In antiquity itself and in our memory of antiquity, the Eleusinian
Mysteries stand out as the oldest and most venerable mystery cult. Despite the tremendous
popularity of the Eleusinian Mysteries, their origins are unknown. Because they are
lost in an era without written records, they can only be reconstructed with the help
of archaeology. This book provides a much needed synthesis of the archaeology of Eleusis
during the Bronze Age and reconstructs the formation and early development of the
Eleusinian Mysteries. The discussion of the origins of the Eleusinian Mysteries is
complemented with discussions of the theology of Demeter and an update on the state
of research in the archaeology of Eleusis from the Bronze Age to the end of antiquity"
