Greece, Eleusis-Telesterion

Eleusis lies close to Athens, facing the island of Salamina (Salamis). The telesterion is the most sacred and important edifice in the sanctuary of Demeter and Kore-Persephone in Eleusis. The remains visible today date to the reconstruction undertaken in the second half of the 2nd century AD. Tradition has it that the first telesterion was built in the Mycenaean period as a home for Demeter. Later it became the hall in which events connected with the lives of Demeter and Kore were reenacted and the faithful were initiated into the Mysteries. The crowd of initiates sat along the steps in a solemn atmosphere rendered even more ominous by the shadows of the dense stone forest of the colonnade that, with heavy timber trusses, supported the roof.
