The Sacred Plains of Demeter was the name for the western region of Attika, Greece most notable for housing the Sanctuary of Eleusis.
Dedicated to the goddess Demeter, the 'earth-mother' of Greek mythology, the plains were Attika's fertile lands.[1]
Features[edit | edit source]
In addition to the Sanctuary, the Plains were also home to a cave reputed to be the Entrance to the Underworld.[1] The region's connection to the goddess Demeter was further enforced by the Anthion Flowery Well, said to have been where the goddess herself spoke to the daughters of king Keleos.[2]
Due to the sacred nature of the region, tombs of Eteokles and the Epigones were located in the region's mountains.[1]
History[edit | edit source]
During the late 5th century BCE, Barnabas' wife remarried and settled at a farm together with her daughter in the Plains after she lost contact with Barnabas.[3]
During the Peloponnesian War, the Spartan misthios Kassandra explored the region.[1]
