ROMANI XVI ANTE DIEM XII CALENDAS OCTOBRIS MMDCCLVI A.V.C
Explanation
of various calendars
The rites of the Eleusinian Mysteries, begun
on the Festival days of the 18th and the 19th, would continue with initiations
taking place in an underground chamber full of passageways and sacred objects.
These rites would continue till the end of the month. Triptolemus, who had
been cured of a childhood illness by Ceres, was taken around the world on
a chariot and shown the wonders of nature. When he returned home to Eleusis
he built a magnificent temple to Ceres and established the worship of the
goddess. These rites, the Eleusinian Mysteries, surpassed all other Greek
religious celebrations in their solemnity and splendor.
