The text is uncertain at this point. For our purposes, it would be of a greater importance if this were the case, (I
amΝ followingΝ Merkelbach’Ν sΝ readingΝ here)Ν thatΝ isΝ ifΝ theΝ recognitionΝ andΝ theΝ acknowledgementΝ ofΝ theΝ divineΝ
agency behind the severe scourge came from the mouths of the attackers and not form those attacked, it would
mean that this is not a simple case of a divine intervention; it seems as if both of these peoples were
experiencing a collective epiphany: they all perceived the calamity as an act of the god.

366) Paus. 2, 26,5 (The epiphany of baby Asklepios/ Light/ aposkopein gesture):
This section aims at establishing even further that the Muses were indeed
worshipped in the valley of Helikon and that the idea that they could have been
wandering on the slopes of the mountain distributing the gift of poetry to unsuspected
shepherdsΝ orΝ hunters,Ν orΝ travellersΝ isΝ certainlyΝ notΝ Hesiod’Ν sΝ ownΝ invention.Ν WestΝ
(1966, 174-75) suggests that there must have been rival cults of the Muses on the
mountains Kithaeron and Helikon. Their mother Mnemosyne was a cultic figure on
Kithaeron,8 Lebadeia,9 and Thespiae.10 The cult of the Muses themselves is attested in

sacred place are more likely to be some statues or simply images of the god(s)
/xoana(?) than elaborate buildings and that, again according to Pausanias, some of the
statues of the Muses date back to late fifth or early fourth century BC.
There are a number of geographical, economical and primarily political reasons
that explain why the sanctuary of Thespiae (Mouseion) enjoyed such a popularity
from archaic up to the late Roman period/ early Byzantine period, 19 andΝ Hesiod’sΝ
popularity is certainly one of these. The question that naturally follows is whether the
cult of the Muses was partly due to the popularity of Hesiodic poetry, or resulted from
it. As Schachter rightly remarks, trinities of goddesses associated with fertility and
inspiration (both prophetic and artistic) were not unknown in Boiotia before Hesiod.
ButΝ itΝ wasΝ Hesiod’Ν sΝ nineΝ Muses,Ν number,Ν names,Ν attributesΝ andΝ all,Ν thatΝ becameΝ
canonical.20 Hesiod’Ν sΝ achievementΝ toΝ elevateΝ aΝ localΝ cultΝ toΝ aΝ PanhellenicΝ levelΝ byΝ
connecting the local Helikonean Muses with Panhellenic Olympos, continuously
supported by the Thespian magistrates, was taken one step further in the Hellenistic
period, where as expected the cult of the Helikonides Muses obtained Panhellenic
status and the Mouseia were elevated to elaborate penteteric agones.
On his coming into Athens, Asklepios received the warm and friendly welcome
ofΝtheΝpriesthoodΝofΝϊemeterΝandΝKore,ΝtheΝ‘Saviours’ΝofΝolderΝtype,ΝasΝParkerΝcallsΝ
them. An official day was established to celebrateΝ theΝ god’sΝ arrival,Ν thatΝ coincidedΝ
with his initiation into the Eleusinian Mysteries,21 while the newcomer god found
temporary shelter in the Eleusinion.22 The god himself was a mystes according to
Pausanias.23 TheΝ veryΝ festivalΝ thatΝ commemoratedΝ theΝ god’s first arrival in the city
becameΝ partΝ ofΝ theΝ GreatΝ Mysteries.Ν Asklepios’Ν otherΝ festival,Ν theΝ AsklepieiaΝ
(celebrated in Elaphebolion) was part of another prestigious festival of old, that of the
Great Dionysia. Both festivals in honour of Asklepios are found to be part of the
poliadic aspect of old, reverent and popular mystery cults. Now we know that divine
manifestations were at the heart of these particular mystery cults.
Could this cautious arrangement of the festive calendar point to a closer relation
of the very essence of these cults and subsequently to the way that the divine
manifestations take place within their cultic context? No definite answer can be given
to this question, I suppose. There are, however, further structural parallels between
the cult of Asklepios and that of Demeter and Kore in Eleusis that may point to some
similarities on the level of content. Compare here that: a) that both cults include
mystic rites (teletai) that were confined to those initiated,24 b) a sacred portion called
kykeon is mentioned in connection to both cults, c) fasting from certain types of food

Muses in late 4th cent. AD. and the erection of a statue of Constantine himself.

and sacrificing piglets are mention in connection to both cults, d) while both cults
included in their priestly personnel called hierophantes, dadouchos, mystagogos e)
both cults are concerned with the well being of their initiate, f) and finally night-
festivals ( ) were hold in both cultic contexts.25
Moreover there is a plethora of passages where practising incubation is combined
with explicit mystic imagery. I quote the two most conspicuous from Aelius
Aristides:
(a)Ν“andΝneitherΝbelongingΝtoΝaΝchorusΝnorΝsailingΝtogetherΝnorΝhavingΝtheΝsameΝteacherΝisΝasΝ
great a thing as the boon and profit of being a fellow pilgrim to the temple of
Asklepios and being initiated to the first of the holy rites by the fairest and most
perfect torchbearer and leader of the mysteries, to whom every rule of necessity
yields (
)”.26
(b)Ν Ν “itΝ [sc.Ν theΝ remedy]Ν wasΝ revealedΝ inΝ theΝ clearestΝ wayΝ possibleΝ ( ), just as
countless other things also made the presence of the god manifest (
). For I seemed almost to touch him and to perceive that he
himself was coming, and to be halfway between sleep and walking and want to get
the power of vision and to be anxious lest he depart beforehand, and to have turned
my ears to listen, sometimes as in a dream, sometimes as in a waking vision (
), and my hair was standing on end and tears of joy (
), and the weight of knowledge was no burden—what man
could even set these things into words? But if he is one of the initiates, then he knows
and understands ( )”. 27
Now, one may dustily dismiss these passages as pompous and extravagant
utterances of a megalomaniac, neurotic man of literary tastes; Asklepios though is
strongly connected with the goddesses of Eleusis in a plethora of ancient sources (of
diverseΝtemporalΝandΝgenericΝorigins)ΝinΝAristophanes’ΝPlutus, for instance the god is
called “greatΝ lightΝ forΝ theΝ mortals”.28 In one of the Hippocratic treatises a parallel
between Asklepios and his remedies and Triptolemos and the seeds of Demeter is
drawn.29 In a late inscription form ca. 160 AD, Marcus Julius Apellas practiced
incubation in the temple of the god in Aegina and offered common sacrifices to
Asklepios, Epione and the Eleusinian goddesses.30 In an Orphic hymn,31 Asklepios is
invoked (note the performative elthe) as both the giver of health and the giver of a
good end of life. It is also possible that Socrates asked a cock to be sacrificed to the
god with this in mind (i.e. Asklepios is the one who soothes the pain of death).32 Most
importantly,ΝAsklepios’ΝaffinitiesΝwithΝtheΝunderworldΝareΝunderscoredΝinΝXenophon’sΝ

Cynegeticus, I,6 where we learn that Asklepios was revered not only as the healer of
the sick, but also as the one who revived the dead:
Farnell thought that the relationship between Asklepios and Eleusis should not be
taken further than that of a new deity being admitted by a well-established cult and
thus being incorporated into the city religion.33 The passages discussed above though
surely point to a more profound relation of analogy between the mystery cult of
Eleusis and that of newcomer. Fear and light and the gesture of aposkopein have been
repeatedly discussed in a mystic epiphany context. In the second passage from
Aristides quoted above the element of fear is underlined and we have already
discussed some passages where light is emphasized in a healing manifestation
context. Let me conclude this section my mentioning one more manifestation, that of
the baby Asklepios himself. According to Pausanias, the shepherd who found the
exposed baby Asklepios drew near the child and saw the lightning that flashed from
him.34 We are told that he thought there was something divine about the child, as in
fact it was, and he turned his face away, in a typical gesture of aposkopein.

1 CRISIS
4 COMMEMORATION
An epiphany motivated by a crisis (1. green arrow) may provide authorisation to a human
intermediary (2. purple arrow), or may lead straight to the resolution of the crisis without the
authorisation process being activated (3. blue arrow). The resolution of a crisis is most
commonly than not followed by the introduction of some sort of commemorative structure,
i.e. festival, statue, athletic contest, pilgrimage, etc (4. red arrow). Not all the narratives
exhibit an uninterrupted sequence of all four elements. The focus depends heavily on the
larger generic context of the narrative: i.e. Pausanias in his periegesis tends to look at the
commemorative aspect of an epiphanic event and report the aition, i.e. the reason behind, the
origins of this commemorative feature.
The inadequacy of this two dimensional image to deliver the complexity of a
multidimensional cultural construct reflects the inadequacies of the modern classificatory
modes to convey the complexity of the application of the epiphanic schema in Greek
literature and culture. These inadequacies, however, do not devalue the proposed analysis as
aΝvalidΝandΝeffective―ΝtoΝtheΝextentΝthatΝcontributesΝtoΝanΝad fontes analysis of the individual
