An archaeological study of the City Eleusinion in Athens, the
sanctuary of Eleusinian Demeter and the city terminus for the
annual Eleusinian Mysteries. The book presents the stratigraphical
evidence from excavations of a part of the sanctuary (conducted in
the 1930s and 1959-1960), the remains of the Temple of Triptolemos,
a Hellenistic stoa, and a propylon, and contains extensive
descriptions of the context pottery, a discussion of the ritual
vessel plemochoe, and catalogues of inscriptions, sculpture, and
architectural pieces from the sanctuary. There is a survey of the
topography of the sanctuary and its environs on the North Slope of
the Acropolis, and a discussion of its relationship to Eleusis and
its position as a landmark within the city of Athens. Since a
significant portion of the sanctuary still lies unexcavated under
the modern city, the book includes a detailed assessment of the
only evidence known so far for the various phases of use of the
sanctuary, from the earliest evidence of the 7th century B.C. to
the late antique period.
