Note 402 — Chapter IX · SOUL-IMAGE AND LIFE-FEELING
Charles Francis Atkinson translation
The Eleusinian mysteries contained no secrets at all. Everyone knew what went on. But upon the believers they exercised a strange and overpowering effect, and the “betrayal” consisted in profaning them by imitating their holy forms outside the temple-precinct. See, further, A. Dieterich, Kleine Schriften (1911), pp. 414 et seq.
