The most famous conspiracy of silence in the history of antiquity
is examined here by one of the three archaeologists entrusted by
the Archaeological Society of Athens with the final excavations of
the Sanctuary. He traces the history of the cult in the
archaeological remains, from the first traces of habitation at the
site in the Middle Bronze Age (around 1900 B.C.) to its final
grandeur and decay in Imperial Roman times. A guided tour of the
Museum at Eleusis, illustrated with photographs of objects in the
Museum, as well as air views, plans, and detailed photographs of
the ruins closely correlated with the text, takes into account the
needs of the visitor at the site as well as the reader at home.
Originally published in 1961. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the
latest print-on-demand technology to again make available
previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of
Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original
texts of these important books while presenting them in durable
paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy
Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage
found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University
Press since its founding in 1905.
