1412 Demeter ENT_DEMETER received_as Demons ENT_CHR_DEMONS medium Demeter's Eleusinian Mysteries were a primary patristic target: Justin Martyr (1 Apol. 66) presents the mysteries as demonic counterfeits of Christian sacraments; Clement of Alexandria (Protrepticus II) extensively mocks the Eleusinian rites as demonic obscenities.

2064 Demeter ENT_DEMETER reveals Eubouleus ENT_EUBOULEUS medium In Eleusinian mystery tradition, Eubouleus ("Good Counsel") is a figure connected to the Demeter-Persephone myth; as the pig-herd who witnessed the abduction, he stands at the boundary of the Eleusinian revealed tradition. Theoi Daemones/personifications index SRC_THEOI_DAIMONES approved  
7371 Demeter ENT_DEMETER presides_over Eleusinian Mysteries (cult hub) ENT_MYST_ELEUSINIAN high Demeter is the principal goddess of the Eleusinian Mysteries.
