Travel back to Ancient Greece to hear what we do know of The Eleusinian Mysteries-which are among the most ancient and prestigious of the Greco-Roman world and were guarded on pain of death. This first secret society-which had endured for almost 2,000 years, and counted among its members the likes of Socrates, Plato, Plutarch, and Cicero-ceased to exist. Or did it? After reviewing the history of the Great Mysteries of 391, Professor Spence considers if secret societies ever die or if they just change into something else.
