We enter the Sanctuary and the first place our gaze alights is the Well of the Kallichoron - the Beautiful Dances. There was a tale that at the time of the Mysteries, from tthis well would emerge a nymph, Daeira, to participate in the rites. Daeira 'the knowing one' - a title of Persephone at Eleusis - emerges from an Underworld realm, the deep waters, just at the time where, across the courtyard, Persephone emerged historically from the Eleusinian cave and visionarily in the Telesterion- this is the Mystery in miniature.
