text: Mystical and scholarly interest in the mystery religions, especially the Eleusinian mysteries of Ceres-Isis which were celebrated annually in August, was strong from the Renaissance on, its strength deriving in part from the emotional call of the feminine on the one hand and tantalising lack of evidence as to what actually went on at the celebration of the mysteries on the other.
