Strabo – “Geography”
“There remain of Europe, first, Macedonia and the parts of Thrace that are contiguous to it and extend as far as Byzantium; secondly, Greece; and thirdly, the islands that are close by. Macedonia, of course, is a part of Greece, yet now, since I am following the nature and shape of the places geographically, I have decided to classify it apart from the rest of Greece and to join it with that part of Thrace which borders on it and extends as far as the mouth of the Euxine and the Propontis. Then, a little further on, Strabo mentions Cypsela and the Hebrus River, and also describes a sort of parallelogram in which the whole of Macedonia lies.”

WHO WERE <strong>THE</strong> MAKERS ? 161<br />
We may therefore conclude that as there is<br />
no trace of any<br />
serfdom at Athens, the tradition that there had not been any<br />
influx of another and master population at any time is<br />
perfectly<br />
worthy<br />
of our credence.<br />
Eleusis. Hither came Demeter in quest of Persephone,<br />
and here was the most famous shrine of the Mother and her<br />
Daughter. According to the Homeric Hymn Celeus entertained<br />
Demeter unawares \ According to another story it was Eleusis<br />
or Eleusinus who received the goddess he was slain<br />
;<br />
<strong>by</strong> Demeter<br />
because he interrupted her when she was in the act of making<br />
his infant son Triptolemus immortal <strong>by</strong> placing him on the fire ^.<br />
This Eleusis was said <strong>by</strong> some to be the son of Hermes and<br />
Daira daughter of Ocean<br />
; <strong>by</strong> others a son of Ogygus. Various<br />
stories are likewise told of the parentage of Triptolemus :<br />
the Athenians said that he was son of Celeus ;<br />
others made<br />
him son of an Argive priest Trochilus and an Eleusinian wife;<br />
others again made him child of Earth and Ocean, whilst<br />
another version made Cercyon and Triptolemus sons of a<br />
daughter of Amphictyon-' (p. 149), Rarus being the father of<br />
Triptolemus, Poseidon of Cercyon. All these tales indicate<br />
that at Eleusis an aboriginal race had established the cult<br />
of Denietei-.<br />
According to the Homeric Hymn " she showed to<br />
Triptolemus and Diodes siniter of horses and mighty Eumolpus<br />
and Celeus leader of peoples the way of performing the sacred<br />
rites and explained to all of them the orgies."<br />
had come from Thrace and was the son of<br />
Eumolpus<br />
Poseidon and ('hione daughtiT of l>or(,'as and (Jreithyia. It is<br />
not unlikely thut the Eleusinians were glad to be reinforced <strong>by</strong><br />
a body of settlers, who could aid them ;igainst Athens. Cei'tain<br />
it is that with the appearance of Eumolpus comes the gieat<br />
struggle Ix'tweeii the two towns, which was ended <strong>by</strong> a huttle<br />
in which Erechtheus vanijuished the Eleusinians and slew<br />
Imrnai-adus son of Eumolpus,<br />
l)ut Erechtheus himself likewise<br />
