	MYSTERIES OF ELEUSIS: Preliminaries by Sanderson Beck
		On the 14th of Boedromion after preliminary sacrifices the sacred objects (Hiera) of Demeter were taken from the sanctuary at Eleusis and brought to Athens in sacred cists (kistai) in a procession headed by the priests and priestesses.
		The fourth day, Boedromion 18, was called Epidauria or Asklepieia because the god of healing had been late in coming from Epidauros, arriving after the proclamation, purification in the sea, and the sacrifices.
		Boedromion 19 was the fifth day known as Iacchos or pompe and culminated the festivities at Athens.

		Again, the sixth and seventh nights of the dark half of the lunar month of Boedromion are the nights in the Telesterion where the Hiera is shown to the people and the life-in-death vision is complete.

		The Thesmophoria anticipates the ploughing and planting in the fall, and the Anthesteria commemorates the opening of the new wine in the spring.
		The Eleusinian Mysteries are associated with agricultural goddesses (Demeter and Persephone), and they celebrate the discovery of ploughing and sowing grain, but they come in late summer (Boedromion, in September), and are not timed to correspond with any particular agricultural activity.
		The festivals obviously overlap mythological stories with ritual action, and, often, the mythological action is given an explanation by stories told during the festival.

		This appears to suggest that the diãlogow took place during Boedromion rather than in Metageitnion, the last month of the Attic calendar and which month mostly corresponded with Panemos (above).
		At any event, for the Athenians the victory in 479 B.C. at Plataiai was won in the month of Boedromion and not in that of Metageitnion.
		As the evidence indicates the diãlogow was introduced soon after the accession of Marcus Aurelius and Lucius Verus, when the war against the Parthians was underway, and it endured until the death of Commodus [=IG II 2130 above; S. Follet attributed 2130 to 195/6, but this writer leaned toward l92/3 (above)].

		This was absolutely contrary to the rules, and a thing which had never been allowed before; for the lesser mysteries were celebrated in the month of Anthesterion, and the great solemnity in Boedromion, and none of the novices were finally admitted till they had completed a year after this latter.
		Yet all this notwithstanding, when in the public assembly these letters of Demetrius were produced and read, there was not one single person who had the courage to oppose them, except Pythodorus, the torch-bearer.
