The most beautiful myth in the world was born here: the myth of the eternal cycle of life. Of the death and the resurrection.
In Elevesina, ancient city and birthplace of Aischylos, the father of the tragedy, 23 km west of Athens were worshiped for centuries by the two goddesses through a local celebration, that became pan-Hellenic and, later, ecumenical.
Every fall, in the "Elevesinia Mysteries", the sanctuary was flooded with expectant believers. Initiating them would be the greatest experience of their lives, grant them happiness and redeem them from man's greatest fear: the fear of death. Having sworn an oath of silence, they would never talk about what they saw, heard, experienced. Secrets will remain secret for centuries. One of the best-kept secrets of world history!
Elevesina reintroduces itself with its newly reorganized archaeological site and renovated Museum.
