The Sanctuary of Eleusis is a town and municipality in the western region of Attika and east of Megaris.
The town served as the site of important religious festivities, chief among them the Eleusinian Mysteries performed within the Telesterion.[1]
The Sacred Way connected the Sanctuary of Eleusis with Athens' acropolis. On Athens' end, the road was watched over by a statue featuring the goddess Demeter and her daughter Kore, and ended at the gates of Propylea.[1]
During the Peloponnesian War the town was visited by the Spartan misthios Kassandra.[1]
