$29
Why $29? That's an unusually specific price. There is some significance to the numbers 2 and 9 in the Eleusinian Mysteries: 2 because the myth centers around the goddesses Demeter and Persephone, and 9 because the ritual lasted over 9 days.
Join us to learn about the ancient Greek Eleusinian Mysteries in a symposium-style setting. Enjoy authentic Greek food, drinks, and performances by a lyre player and Isadorian Duncan-style dancers.
