Triptolemus receiving wheat sheaves from Demeter and blessings from Persephone, 5th-century BC relief. National Archaeological Museum of Athens

Summary[edit]

Description
Français : Relief votif en marbre pentélique trouvé à Éleusis, dédié au sanctuaire de Déméter et de Korè. Il représente les deux déesses éleusiniennes dans une scène du rituel des mystères. À gauche, Déméter, vêtue du péplos et tenant un sceptre dans la main gauche, offre des épis de blé à Triptolème, fils du roi éleusinien Keloos, pour qu'il les donne à l'humanité. À droite, Perséphone, vêtue d'un chiton et d'un manteau, tient une torche, et bénit Triptolème de la main droite. La magnificence de l'image et son échelle monumentale indiquent qu'il ne s'agissait peut-être pas d'un simple relief votif mais plutôt d'un relief cultuel. Il était fameux dès l'Antiquité et fut copié à l'époque romaine : une copie se trouve au Metropolitan Museum à New York.
English: Demeter and Persephone celebrating the Eleusinian Mysteries.
