Demeter and Persephone in Ancient Corinth (Corinth Notes) Book

When the Roman tourist Pausanias visited Corinth around AD 160, he saw many shrines and buildings high up to the S of the city, on the slopes of Acrocorinth. This booklet describes excavations at one of these, the Sanctuary of Demeter and Persephone. The details of religious rites revealed are of particular interest since the cult of the two goddesses, also celebrated at Eleusis, is one of the most mysterious in antiquity, and no literary testimony exists to explain what may have happened behind the high walls. Terracotta dolls, ritual meals of pork, and miniature models of food filled platters hint at a vigorous religious tradition associated with human and agricultural fertility.Read More
