Note 13 — Chapter VI · THE ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES
W. B. (William Bernard) Hillis translation
An opportunity of speaking in more detail of Orphic doctrine will occur later on. Here I will only point out in passing that the ancients themselves never suggested for a moment that Orpheus—the master of every kind of mysticism—had anything in particular to do with the Eleusinia; as Lob. Agl. 239 shows.
