Rarian Field

The Rarian Field or Rarian Plain (Ancient Greek: Ρ̓άριον Πεδίον, Rárion Pedíon, [rá.ri.on pe.dí.on])[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 (Ρ̓αριάς) after the field, or after its mythical eponym Rarus.[4][5]

Notes

  1. ^ It was specifically stressed by ancient grammarians, e. g. Herodianus 1. 546-547; 2. 940; scholia on Iliad, 1. 56, that the initial Ρ̓ of Ρ̓ᾶρος Râros ("Rarus"), the eponym of the Rarian Field, has a spiritus lenis on it, unlike all other Greek words beginning with ρ. Thus, the correct Latin transliteration is Rarian, not *Rharian.
  2. ^ Homeric Hymn 2 to Demeter 450
  3. ^ Pausanias, 1.38.6.
  4. ^ a b Stephanus of Byzantium, s.v. Rarion
  5. ^ Suda, s.v. Rarias
