Kifissos Bridgev|Myth| Eleusina

https://yougoculture.com/ Following the Sacred Way from Athens to Eleusina, there is a point, about one kilometer east of the entrance to the sanctuary of Demeter, which met the riverbed of the Eleusinian Kifissos or Sarantapotamos as it is called nowadays. According to ancient writers, the emperor Hadrian was initiated into the Eleusinian Mysteries at 125 A.D. and he built a great stone bridge at the same year. The Greek traveler Pausanias, after visiting Eleusina, mentioned that the reason behind the bridge’s construction was a huge flood of Kifissos around 125A.D. Of course the easiest and safest route for the pilgrims came from Athens was another important factor for bridge’s erection. Τhe bridge was discovered and excavated by the architecture Ioannis Travlos at 1950. https://yougoculture.com/destination/... http://yougoculture.com/virtual-tour/... https://yougoculture.com/articles-vir...
