Rarian Field
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Template:Short description The Rarian Field or Rharian Plain (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "lang"., Script error: No such module "IPA".)[1] was located in Eleusis in Greece and was supposedly where the first plot of grain was grown after Demeter (through Triptolemus) taught humanity agriculture.[2][3][4] It was associated with the Eleusinian Mysteries.
Demeter was often given the epithet Rarias (Script error: No such module "Lang".) after the field, or after its mythical eponym Rarus.[4][5]

- ^ It was specifically stressed by ancient grammarians, e. g. Herodianus 1. 546-547; 2. 940; scholia on Iliad, 1. 56, that the initial Script error: No such module "Lang". of Script error: No such module "Lang". Script error: No such module "lang". ("Rarus"), the eponym of the Rarian Field, has a spiritus lenis on it, unlike all other Greek words beginning with Script error: No such module "Lang".. Thus, the correct Latin transliteration is Script error: No such module "Lang"., not Script error: No such module "Lang"..
