Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The area of the cavern recalls the entrance to Hades: It was associated with the abduction of Persephone by Pluto in the autumn and her ascent to earth again in the spring. The myth is connected with the fructification of the earth after the sowing and the seed, which was regarded as Demeter's gift to the human race. The temple of Pluto is Archaic in date but was remodeled on many occasions from the fourth century B.C. down to Roman times. Text: Information board at the archaeological site.
