Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the roots of the religious practices followed in the ancient Greek cult of Demeter at Eleusis. The author argues the Eleusinian mysteries were not an original Greek invention, but rather an imported set of beliefs and rituals from Egypt. Tracing the historical development of the cult's doctrines, this book shows how the Eleusinian mysteries became a source of hope and comfort to the initiated, offering the promise of a better life in the afterlife. At the same time, it reveals that the initiation rites themselves were influenced by Egyptian mythology, particularly the stories surrounding the deities Isis and Osiris. By exploring the profound themes of agriculture, civilization, and the afterlife, this book offers a fresh perspective on the historical significance and lasting legacy of the Eleusinian mysteries.
