ABSTRACT
The goddesses were reunited, and Demeter relented so that corn again clothed the land. Then she taught her mysteries to Triptolemus and others: blessed among men on earth is he who has seen these things. The outer propylaea stands on the corner of the sanctuary wall of sixth-century date, which enclosed the acropolis; it was of polygonal masonry. In the fifth century the sanctuary was expanded, and the new wall met the old at the same point. The other major art work is the painted plaque from the early fourth century dedicated to the goddesses by Niinnion. There have been different interpretations. The painting is divided into two planes by a faint white line, and it is not certain whether it should be interpreted as one scene or two. The sanctuary of the goddesses on the north slope of Acrocorinth has rockcut steps suggesting a theatral area for ritual drama.
