    New Light on Demeter's Mysteries: The Festival Proerosia Robertson, Noel Greek, Roman and Byzantine Studies; Winter 1996; 37, 4; ProQuest pg. 319 New Light on Demeter's Mysteries: The Festival Proerosia Noel Robertson EMETER'S "MYSTERIES: festivals conducted mainly by women and in sanctuaries that were suitably withdrawn, D were almost universal in Greek cities, like the cereal agri­ culture they were intended to promote. They were integral to Greek society and are now widely and profitably studied as a social phenomenon. If the general custom is important, so are the many ritual actions that constitute a given festival, through which (according to one's point of view) the women either worship the goddess Demeter, or work directly on the earth, or affirm their sense of the fitness of things. Animal sacrifice plays a large part, as usual, the pig species being favored by De­ meter, and there is a peculiar practice of throwing piglets into a pit, which is then closed. It is a disadvantage that reconstructions of ritual must be sought in older handbooks and special studies. The basic work on Greek festivals was done long ago, and new evidence, though not wholly neglected, has not led to any sustained effort of revision. The festival Proerosia, "Before-ploughing (rites)," is such a case. The Athenian, or Eleusinian, version of this festival once seemed to stand alone, as if it were something secondary and contrived, without much bearing on the larger pattern of Demeter's worship. We can now see that the Proerosia was widespread. It may have been as common as the greatest of Demeter's festivals, the Thesmophoria: it was a sequel to it, coming later in the autumn season.
