 Eleusinian mysteries
In this hall, the secret and sacred objects were shown to the initiated, and also the priestesses would reveal the vision of the holy night, which is thought to have been a fire symbolizing life after death.
In the Hellenistic age (300-150 BCE), the cult was taken over and run by the state, and two aristocratic families from Eleusis officiated (the Eumolpidae and Kerykes).
The mysteries existed from Mycenaean times (circa 1600-1200 BCE), thought to have been established in the 1500s BCE and held annually for two thousand years.

 Taoism and the Arts of China
According to Sima Qian (146–86 BCE) in his Shi ji (Records of the Historian), Laozi was a custodian of the imperial archives, an older contemporary of Confucius (some say the Lao in Laozi means "old," while others regard it simply as a family name), who retired to the west in his old age.
Some scholars, particularly in mainland China, have dated Laozi in the fourth or third centuries BCE; others have held to the traditional dates (usually given as 604-531); and still others (especially in the West) have insisted that Laozi is a purely legendary figure who never existed at all.
It is generally agreed that Zhuangzi was a historical figure whose life probably spanned much of the fourth century BCE; he is said to have been a cleric in a lacquer workshop.
