The Name of Demeter Thesmophoros	2008	17	.pdf	application/pdf	6465	374	67	The Eleusinion in Eleusis was the site of other Demeter festivals, such as the Haloa or Thesmophoria.68 Local deme sanctuaries in Attica offered various rites and festivals in honor of Demeter.69 Although local Thesmophoria were performed in the Attic demes, the City Eleusinion may have been the site of the “national” Athenian celebration.70 It seems that any Demeter sanctuary was suitable for women’s Demeter mysteries, no matter what epithet the goddess bore.71 This encounter resulted in the birth of a daughter, Despoina (Mistress, a title of Kore-Per- sephone), as well as a horse, the legendary Arion.11 The titles Melaina and Erinys are seen as relics of a very old form of Demeter cult, partly because of their location in Arcadia, that most archaic region, and partly because of their association with xoana, unimaginably ancient wooden statues.	cache/grbs-921.pdf	txt/grbs-921.txt
