Triptolemos, receiving the seeds from the hands of Demeter, has to teach mankind how to cultivate the fields, while Kore keeps her hand over his head to protect him.This main story is depicted on the great Eleusinian relief (from the half of the 5th century BCE.), exhibited in the Archaeological National Museum in Athens.
The procession of initiates with Kore and Iakchos in front of Demeter on the Ninnion Tablet (from the lst half of the 4th century BCE) in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens is showing many interesting details from the Eleusinian celebration.
On the pediment of this Tablet is represented Pannychis, the whole-night feast.

 Greek Popular Relgion: The Religion of Eleusis
The Mysteries were not a gloomy festival; they conferred joy and happiness upon man. Not the rape and separation but the reunion was its theme.
The reunion is represented on the famous tablet of Ninnion from the end of the fifth century B.C., found in the sacred precinct at Eleusis
In the lower zone Demeter is seated, and at her side is a vacant seat; Kore is absent.

One example of the book's confusion and errors must be given.
On pages 63-4, Parisinou states "The famous tablet (pinax) of Ninnion and 4.25 (both dated to the first half of the fourth century; Pl. 17) depict a youthful long-haired male figure..." However, catalog item 4.25 and Plate 17 are both the tablet of Ninnion; there is only one piece of evidence here, not two.
Mistakes like this, and they are too common, must inevitably undermine the reader's faith in all the other evidence presented.
