Synopsis
Excerpt from Mémoires de l'Institut National de France Académie des Inscriptions Et Belles-Lettres, Vol. 35
La piemière questiona àétudier est donc celle - ci Demeter est - elle une divinité hellénique ou étrangère? Sur ce point, les Grecs n'avaient pas d'hésitation ils reconnaissaient qu'ils avaient emprunté à d'autres nations la plupart de leurs dieux; en par ticulier, ils assimilaient Déméter et Dionysosà aisis età Osi1is et ils att1ibuaientà des colons égyptiens l'int10duction de leur culte. Jusqu'au commencement du siècle, les érudits ont lé pi' té. Leurs témoignages, sans en discutei la valeur. Pai une action exagérée contre ce manque de critique, les savants modernes ont rejeté en bloc tous ces récits comme des fables sura n nées; écartant dédaigneusement toutes les traditions légen daires, ils ont à peine admis que quelques éléments étrangers étaient venus s'adjoindre à la religion primitive de Déméter, mais sans la modifier profondément. Pour le plus grand nombre c'est une divinité purement pélasgique, c'est - à - dire née sur le sol de la Grèce, parmi les plus anciennes populations de la pé ninsule; quelques - uns même ont pensé que les mystères ne se i.iient pas autre chose que l'antique religion, proscrite par les conquérants qui asservirent les Pélasges, mais conservée dans le secret par les descendants des vaincus. Telle est la théorie qui a prévalu dans les travaux modernes sur la mythologie; mais on peut. Dire qu'elle repose sur une simple affirmation plutôt que sur une démonstration.

Paperback. Condition: 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.
