Apollodorus, Library (ed. Sir James George Frazer), book 3 (search)
（Marmor Parium 27ff.） represents Eumolpus as a son of Musaeus, and says that he founded the mysteries of Eleusis. Apollodorus does not expressly attribute the institution of the mysteries to Eumolpus, but perhaps he implies it. Compare Apollod. 2.5.12. It seems to have been a common tradition that the mysteries of Eleusis were founded by the Thracian Eumolpus. See Plut. De exilio 17; Lucian, Demonax 34; Photius, Lexicon, s.v. *eu)molpi/dai. B38.3）, Erechtheus was himself slain in the battle, but Eumolpus survived it and was allowed to remain in Eleusis （Paus. 2.14.2）. Further, Pausanias relates that in the war with Eleusis the Athenians offered the supreme Eleusis the Athenians offered the supreme command of their forces to the exiled Ion, and that he accepted it （Paus. 1.31.3; Paus. 2.14.2; Paus. 7.1.5）; and with this account Strab. 8.7.1 substantially agrees. The war waged by Eumolpus on Athens is mentioned by Plat.

nineteenth century by the construction of a road and railway along the coast. See Frazer's note on Paus. 1.44.6 （vol. ii. pp. 546ff. ）. Fifth, in Eleusis he slew Cercyon, son of Branchus and a nymph Argiope. This Cercyon compelled passers-by to wrestle, and in wrestling killed them. But Theseus lifted, Fab. 38, who calls Cercyon a son of Vulcan （Hephaestus）. The place associated with the story, known as the wrestling-school of Cercyon, was near Eleusis, on the road to Megara （Pausanias, 1.39.3）. The Scholiast on Lucian, l.c. says that it was near Eleutherae, but he is probably in error; for if the place were near Eleutherae, it must have been on the road from Eleusis to Thebes, which is not the road that Theseus would take on his way from the Isthmus of Corinth to Athens. Sixth, he slew Damastes, whom some call Polypemon.More commonly known as Procrustes. See Bacch. 17(18).27ff., ed. Je

n poor, he would devour anything; now he is rich, he no longer cares for lentils. Old Woman Formerly he came to me every day. Chremylus To see if you were being buried? Old Woman No! he longed to hear the sound of my voice. Chremylus aside And to carry off some present. Old Woman If I was downcast, he would call me his little duck or his little dove in a most tender manner ... Chremylus aside And then would ask for the money to buy a pair of sandals. Old Woman When I was at the Mysteries of Eleusis in a carriage, someone made eyes at me; he was so jealous that he beat me the whole of that day. Chremylus aside That was because he liked to feed alone. Old Woman He told me I had very beautiful hands. Chremylus aside Aye, no doubt, when they handed him twenty drachmae. Old Woman That my whole body breathed a sweet perfume. Chremylus aside Yes, like enough, if you poured him out Thasian wine. Old Woman That my glance was gentle and charming.

of the Athenians who have remained in the city that desire to emigrate do have Eleusis, retaining their full rights, and having sovereignty and self-government, and . according to the ancestral practice. But that it be not lawful for those at Eleusis to go into the city, nor for those in the city to go to Eleusis, except in eitEleusis, except in either case at a celebration of the Mysteries. And that they contribute from their revenues like the other Athenians to the fund for the common defence. And that any of those who go away that take a house at Eleusis be helped to obtain the consent of the owner; and if they cannot come to terms with one another, each party and to accept whatever price these valuers assess. And that of the people of Eleusis those whom the settlers may be willing to allow do dwell in the place with thee when they return. And that it be not permitted for anyone residing at Eleusis to hold any of the offices in the city until he removes himself from the roll

way they would make him an example to everybody. And this is what actually occurred; for never since he was put to death has anybody broken the amnesty, but the Athenians appear both in private and public to have behaved towards the past disasters in the most completely honorable and statesmanlike manner of any people in history; for they not only blotted out recriminations with regard to the past, but also publicly restored to the Spartans the funds that the Thirty had taken for the war, although the treaty ordered that the parties in the city and in Peiraeus were each to make restitution separately. The Athenians thought that they must take this as a first step to concord, whereas in the other states those who have set up democracy not only do not pay any more out of their own property but even make a redistribution of the land. They also made a reconciliation with those that had settled at Eleusis two years after the migration, in the archonship of Xenaenetus.

Any person disobeying this decree shall be liable to the statutory penalty for treason, unless he can prove inability to obey in his own case, such plea of inability to be judged by the General of the Infantry, the Paymaster-General, and the Secretary of the Council. All property in the country shall be immediately removed, if within a radius of 120 furlongs, to the City and Peiraeus; if outside this radius, to Eleusis, Phyle, Aphidna, Rhamnus, or Sunium. Proposed by Callisthenes of Phalerum.]Was it with such expectation that you made the peace? Were these the promises of this hireling?

Let me then tell you what to do. In the first place, get rid of your present terror; or rather direct it elsewhere, and be as frightened as you will for the Thebans. They lie nearer to peril; the danger threatens them first. Next, let all men of military age, and all the cavalry, march out to Eleusis, and show the world that you are under arms. Then your partisans at Thebes will have equal freedom to speak their minds for righteousness' sake, knowing that, just as the men who have sold their country to Philip are supported by a force at Elatea ready to come to their aid, so also you are in readiness to help men who are willing to fight for independence, and will come to their aid, if they are attacked.

therefore be it resolved by the Council and People of Athens, after offering prayers and sacrifices to the gods and heroes who guard the city and country of the Athenians, and after taking into consideration their ancestors' merits, in that they ranked the preservation of the liberties of Greece above the claims of their own state, that two hundred ships be launched, and that the Admiral sail into the Straits of Thermopylae, and that the General and commander of the cavalry march out with the infantry and cavalry to Eleusis; also that ambassadors be sent to the other Greeks, but first of all to the Thebans, because Philip is nearest to their territory,

In what, then, consist his splendor, his public services and his lordly expenditure? I cannot for the life of me see, unless one fixes one's attention on these facts. He has built at Eleusis a mansion huge enough to overshadow his neighbors; he drives his wife to the Mysteries, or anywhere else that he wishes, with a pair of greys from Sicyon; he swaggers about the market-place with three or four henchmen in attendance, describing beakers and drinking-horns and cups loud enough for the passers-by to hear.
