🏛️ Fragments of the Great Eleusinian Relief🏛️

This #ReliefWednesday we travel to the sanctuary of Demeter at Eleusis via Rome. These Augustan era fragments come together to a scene thought to include Demeter to the left; Persephone to the right; between them is Triptolemos, who was sent by Demeter to teach men how to cultivate grain.
