Sinossi:
Among the various mystery religions of antiquity, none has ever achieved such a fame and diffusion, and at the same time such a secrecy and impenetrability to the eyes of the uninitiated, like the Eleusinian Mysteries. So much so that, not unreasonably, it has been affirmed by the most authoritative scholars that the very foundations of the Western culture and Tradition are based upon them. On this subject, a lot has been written and theorized, and there is a vast amount of studies and essays published by the most accredited mythologists, anthropologists, archaeologists, and historians of religions. But, as I will highlight in this book, the guidelines of most of these works, especially those written in the twentieth century, are affected by substantial limitations – which I will carefully explain – and, not to be put in second place, by an absolute lack of an esoteric perspective.
