M47 The Green Festival and the Festival of the Cornstalks at Eleusis. Epithets of Demeter referring to the corn. 215 Dittenberger, _Sylloge Inscriptionum Graecarum_,2 No. 640; Ch. Michel, _Recueil d’Inscriptions Grecques_ (Brussels, 1900), No. 135, p. 145. To be exact, while the inscription definitely mentions the sacrifices to Demeter and Persephone at the Green Festival, it does not record the deities to whom the sacrifice at the Festival of the Cornstalks (τὴν τῶν Καλαμαίων θυσίαν) was offered. But mentioned as it is in immediate connexion with the sacrifices to Demeter and Persephone at the Green Festival, we may fairly suppose that the sacrifice at the Festival of the Cornstalks was also offered to these goddesses. 216 See above, p. 42. _ 217 Anthologia Palatina_, vi. 36. 1 _sq._ 218 Polemo, cited by Athenaeus, iii. 9, p. 416 B. 219 Nonnus, _Dionys._ xvii. 153. The Athenians sacrificed to her under this title (Eustathius, on Homer, _Iliad_, xviii. 553, p. 1162). 220 Theocritus, _Idyl._ vii. 155; _Orphica_, xl. 5. _ 221 Anthologia Palatina_, vi. 98. 1. _ 222 Orphica_, xl. 3. _ 223 Anthologia Palatina_, vi. 104. 8. _ 224 Orphica_, xl. 5. _ 225 Ibid._ _ 226 Orphica_, xl. 18. 227 This title she shared with Persephone at Tegea (Pausanias, viii. 53. 7), and under it she received annual sacrifices at Ephesus (Dittenberger, _Sylloge Inscriptionum Graecarum_,2 No. 655). It was applied to her also at Epidaurus (Ἐφημ. Ἀρχ., 1883, col. 153) and at Athens (Aristophanes, _Frogs_, 382), and appears to have been a common title of the goddess. See L. R. Farnell, _The Cults of the Greek States_, iii. 318 note 30. 228 Polemo, cited by Athenaeus, iii. 73, p. 109 A B, x. 9. p. 416 C. M48 Belief in ancient and modern times that the corn-crops depend on possession of an image of Demeter.
