locations, and they gave witness to the events of her drama. 30 Rocks and rocky outcroppings are also depicted in vase painting and sculpture as part of the setting suitable for Demeter and her circle, and they provide the atmosphere for underworld scenes. 3 1 Although no specific, direct evidence is preserved that the Rocky Outcrop on the upper terrace was sacrosanct in antiquity, its location and prominence within the Archaic peribolos wall, the presence of deposits of votive offerings near it, and the known importance of such outcroppings for cults of Demeter make this a reasonable and likely conclusion.

THE SANCTUARY AND THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES The beginning of the celebrations of the Eleusinian Mysteries was once traced back even to the Bronze Age, but now the date is thought to be somewhat later, probably in the later Geometric period. 3 2 Kevin Clinton has argued that the start of the Eleusinian Mysteries, one aspect of the cult of Eleusinian Demeter, should be pre-Solonian, before the composition of the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, and perhaps even earlier in the 7th century B.c.33 The Homeric Hymn to Demeter has 30 The &ye/..cunoc; ltE'tpcx (Mirthless Rock) at Eleusis, on which Demeter sat mourning her lost daughter, has been identified variously; for testimonia, previous views, and a convincing new identification, see Clinton, Myth and Cult, pp. 1 4-27, passim. Pausanias describes three other places with rocks significant to Demeter: circuits of large unworked stones at Hermione, within which they enact cXlt6ppY)'tCX le:p&: to Demeter (2. 34. 1 0); at Pheneos in Arcadia in the sanctuary of Eleusinian Demeter was set up the "petroma," consisting of two large stones fitted to one another, within which were kept writings referring to the ritual, opened every other year and read to the initiates; people also swore important oaths on the petroma (8. 1 5.2); at Megara there was a rock named 1\vcxx/..�ap�c; (Recall), because, it was said, Demeter there called back her daughter during her search, and the Megarian women enacted this each year ( 1 .43.2). 3 1 Lists and previous bibliography in Metzger 1 965, pp. 4H8; further discussion and recent additions in Clinton, Myth and Cult, pp. 1 4- 1 6. Hades seated on a rock with Persephone nearby also occurs in Attic vase painting and may be depicted on a metope from Temple E at Selinous: ARV 2 750 (Berlin inv. 3276, a: white-ground lekythos); 4 1 5.2 (kylix near Brygos Painter); earlier scenes in black-figure: ABV 373, 1 76, 383. 1 2 (E. 0stby, "The Sculptural Program of Temple E at Selinus," llpcxx"t�x&: 12th Congress, pp. 200-208). In Athens, the enigmatic sculpted frieze from the Temple on the llissos River may show an underworld scene, with figures seated on rocks (photographs in Travlos, Pictorial Dictionary, s.v. Artemis Agrotera, p. 1 1 9, fig. 1 62). 32 Earlier discussions of the date of the beginning of the Mysteries have assumed continuity from the Bronze Age, based on early remains under the later Telesterion at Eleusis (summarized in Mylonas 1 96 1 , pp. 38-63; critical discussion in Richardson 1 974, pp. 5- 1 1 ). A careful restudy of the literary, historical, and archaeological evidence has shown conclusively that there is nothing positive to connect the Bronze Age traces with the later Telesterion and the Eleusinian Mysteries, despite the previous widespread acceptance of the idea: P. Darcque, "Les vestiges myceniens decouverts sous le Telesterion d' Eleusis," BCH 1 05, 1 98 1 , pp. 593-605. Since there are foundations dated by Mylonas to the Late Geometric period, and votive offerings which could be that early, presumably the cult of Demeter at Eleusis (and perhaps the celebration of the Eleusinian Mysteries) could have begun at that time Oate 8th to early 7 th century B.c.) . This represents a return to Noack's original opinion published in 1 927 (pp. l l - 1 5): that the buildings on the terrace at Eleusis cannot be earlier than the Late Geometric period. Further discussion in Binder, forthcoming. 33 Much of the previous discussion of the date of the Mysteries has been built on speculations about the date of the unification of Attica, the political "takeover" of Eleusis by Athens, and possible battles fought between them, but detailed scrutiny of the evidence yields little positive evidence of disputes that could be dated reliably to or after the 7th century B.c. See Padgug 1 972; Osborne 1 985, pp. 1 74- 1 82; Clinton, Myth and Cult, pp. 29-37 ; Clinton 1 993, pp. 1 1 0- 1 1 5, with earlier bibliography; Foley 1 994, pp. 1 69- 1 75; Parker 1 996, pp. 97- 1 0 1 . The most important evidence for a pre-Solonian date is the role of the archon basileus, who had charge of the administration of the Mysteries and of ancestral sacrifices (Aristotle, Ath.Pol. 57 . 1 -2), and a passage in Andokides ( 1 . 1 1 1) noting that according to Solonian law, the Boule met in the Eleusinion after the Mysteries. The authenticity of the Solonian law is argued by Clinton ( 1 982); further discussion of the revision and its relationship to Solonian law in Robertson 1 990 and Rhodes 1 99 1 .

THE EARLY SANCTUARY

been regarded as our primary "text" for the Eleusinian Mysteries, but, as Clinton has argued, the foundation of the Mysteries in the hymn seems secondary to its concern with other aspects of the cult of Demeter that are probably connected to the Thesmophoria, a much older cult. Consequently, the much-debated date of the composition of the hymn should not necessarily affect the date of the start of the Mysteries. 34 Clinton is surely right to separate the date of the Mysteries and the date of the hymn; the hymn can serve only as a terminus ante q uem for the Mysteries. An important part of the Eleusinian Mysteries from at least the Late Archaic period onward was the procession that linked the center of the city with the sanctuary at Eleusis, out on the western border of Attica; this cultic "link" between two or more sanctuaries in the central city and Attica is paralleled in the cults of Dionysos of Eleutherai and Artemis Brauronia. 35 The link was made visible by the procession and its audience, by the bringing of the Sacred Objects first from Eleusis to the city and then back again, escorted by the crowd of participants. The processions reflected the unity of Athens and reinforced a sense of community through group participation in the rites and the shared religious experience. So powerful a symbol of Athenian ritual had this become by the 5th century that an epiphany of the Eleusinian procession was interpreted as an explicit voice of divine allegiance to the Athenian cause in the Persian War (Herodotos 8.65; Plutarch, Them. 15). The physical requirements for the symbolic action of the procession would have included a suitable location for securing the Sacred Objects during the first part of the festival in central Athens and a suitable place for the preliminary sacrifices. The archaeological evidence shows that there was a sanctuary on the north slope of the Akropolis by the 7th century B . C . , presumably dedicated to Demeter as it was a century later. Hence, the link with Eleusis could have begun in the 7th century B . C . The city sanctuary was probably used for celebrations of the Thesmophoria in Athens, as was the sanctuary at Eleusis. 3 6 The Thesmophoria was an old festival, widespread throughout the Greek world, and one which seems to have been celebrated very locally, in multiple sanctuaries in any given community. 3 7 In the city of Athens, the participants were women married to c1t1zens, and the emphasis in the rituals was on fertility of both mothers and crops, which ensured the continuing prosperity of the city. 38 The festival of the Thesmophoria and its 34 For the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, see Richardson 1 974, esp. pp. 1 2-30; Foley ( 1 994, pp. 1 69- 1 78) provides a critical summary of the historical context of the hymn and suggests that it was intended for a Panhellenic audience; she thus resolves many of the perceived "problems" surrounding the presumed knowledge and intent of its author. 35 For discussion of the implications of central and peripheral locations of sanctuaries, see de Polignac 1 995, esp. pp. 85-88. Osborne comments on other instances of cults linking the center and periphery of a polis and disputes some of de Polignac's interpretations (Classical Landscape with Figures, London 1 987, pp. 1 66- 1 7 1 ; Osborne 1 989). The civic aspect of the Eleusinian Mysteries is emphasized by Zaidman and Pantel ( 1 992, pp. 1 32- 1 40, 1 88, and passim) and by Burkert ( 1 987). 36 For the festival, see Broneer 1 942; Parke 1 977, pp. 82-88; Brumfield 1 98 1 , pp. 70- 1 03; Burkert 1 985, pp. 242246; Foley 1 994, pp. 7 1 -75. The Thesmophoria in Attic demes is discussed by Parker ( 1 987, pp. 1 37- 1 47 , esp. p. 1 42). For the Thesmophoria at Eleusis, see Clinton 1 988; 1 993; Clinton, Myth and Cult, pp. 29-37 , 96-99, and passim. 37 The setting for the Thesmophoria is the Pnyx in Aristophanes' Thesmophoria�!loc;] [- - - - - - - -] [- - - - - - - -]
