Eleusis

Eleusis was an important city of ancient Attica, 10 miles N.W. of Athens, near the Saronic gulf, at the east end of a height parallel to the shore. It was the chief seat of the important mysteries connected with the worship of Deeneter and Persephone. The town was destroyed by Alaric in 396, and it is now represented by a small village.
