Description
An account of the resource
This photograph depicts the Kallichoron, or, the Well Around Which to Dance. According to the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, this well, located in Eleusis, Greece, is the spot where Demeter stopped to rest and weep after the abduction of her daughter, Persephone, by the god of the underworld, Hades. During the Eleusinian Mysteries, one of the most important and popular mystery cults from the Greco-Roman world, initiates would dance around this well in honor of the goddesses, ultimately giving it its name.
