PART 1

In Matthew 16:18, Jesus Christ said he would build his church; "and the gates of hell

shall not prevail against it." Putting the word "hell" in context here is important

because whereas the later meaning of the Greek word Ἅ ιδης (transliterated "Hades"

hah'-dace ) was confused with death and the grave (Thanatos [also see Re 1:18]) at the

time Jesus chose to use this word, the reference was to the person of Hades or Pluto,

the god of the lower regions, and Orcus, the nether world and realm of the dead. Why

would Jesus mention a Greek deity, as if Hades were a personal, sentient combatant?

Perhaps there is more than meets the contemporary religion-student's eye.

Backing up

In Hesiod's Theogony we are told of twelve pre-Olympian gods known as Titans, who

ruled the Universe. These were the children of Gaia, who gave birth to the "elder"

gods by cohabiting with Uranus. The important Titans included Oceanus, Tethys,

Mnemosyne, Themis, Hyperion, Lapetus, and Atlas. When Uranus attempted to

imprison the Titans within the body of his wife (the earth), Cronus, "the youngest and

most terrible of her children," conspired with his mother and castrated Uranus with a

sickle. The mutilation of Uranus separated Heaven from Earth and succeeded in

freeing the Titans. When the powerful Cronus later cast the severed genitals of his

father into the sea, a white foam enveloped them from which Aphrodite was born;

thus the name aphros , or "foam-born."

As the newly crowned king of the gods, Cronus married his sister Rhea. Six famous

god-children were born of their union: Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and

Zeus. Mother Earth and Father Uranus warned Cronus that his offspring would

someday try to overthrow and replace him as the king of the gods. Cronus therefore

attempted to circumvent the possibility of threat by swallowing each child whole as it

was born. Rhea was displeased and, "cunning as the night air," replaced baby Zeus

with a cloth-wrapped stone which Cronus unwittingly swallowed instead. She then

hid Zeus at Crete where he was fed on the milk of the goat Amalthaea and remained

until adulthood, protected by the nymphs.

Years later, Zeus made Cronus regurgitate his brothers and sisters. A fierce ten-year

war ensued, and the younger, more powerful Olympians overthrew the elder Titans,

casting them down into Tartarus where they (except for Hecate) were to remain

fettered forever. Eventually Zeus reconciled with the Titans and proclaimed Cronus

the ruler of the Golden Age. Meanwhile he summoned his brothers, Hades and

Poseidon, and decreed that the universe should thereafter be divided among them.

The sky became the dominion of Zeus; Poseidon was chosen to rule over the sea, and

the inner-earth or underworld was declared the haunt of Hades; notwithstanding the

surface of the earth was determined neutral groundsÏa place where sky, sea and

underworld joined, and where all deities could merge. Sky, sea, and underworld

inhabited by "gods", with earth the mutual gathering ground? The Bible mentions the

same as where powerful spirits are separated.

But let's go on...

Hades and the Mystery Rituals

The Thesmophoria was the most popular of the ancient Greek fertility festivals. Held

in honor of DemeterÏwhose cult secrets were the most protected of the mystery

religionsÏthe rituals were performed inside of the inner sanctum of the Temple of

Demeter (the Telesterion) and were so well-guarded by the Temple devotees that

little survived to enlighten us as to what actually occurred there. Only those portions

of the Thesmophoria held outside the Temple were recorded, providing a sparse

historical record.

What is known is that the rituals of the Thesmophoria were

based on the mythology of the abduction and rape of

Persephone (Proserpina), and of Demeter's (Persephone's

mother) subsequent actions in searching for her daughter. The

cult's rituals, therefore, are interpreted according to the

Demeter myth, which claimed that HadesÏthe dark god of the

underworldÏfell in love with beautiful Persephone.

One day as Persephone plucked flowers in a grassy meadow,

Hades swooped down in his chariot and dragged her into the

underworld, where he forced her to become his bride. Above

ground, Demeter was distraught by her daughter's

disappearance and searched the earth in vain to find her. With

the help of Helios and Hecate, Demeter finally discovered the

truth about what had happened. In her fury, she demanded

Hades release her daughter. When he refused, she sent horrific

famine upon the earth. Plants dried up; Seeds refused to

sprout, and the gods began to suffer from a lack of sacrifices.

Finally, Zeus dispatched Hermes to intercede with the lord of the underworld. After

great debate, Hades agreed to release Persephone if she would eat a pomegranate

seed. What Persephone didn't understand was that by eating the pomegranate seed in

the mystical location of the underworld, divine symmetry was created that bonded

her with Hades. This ensured that the goddess would automatically return to the

underworld for a third part of each year (in the winter), during which time the seeds

of the ground would not grow. Persephone thus became the upperworld goddess of

youth and happiness, and the underworld queen of the dead; a dual role that depicted

her as both good and evil. On earth she was the goddess of the young and the friend

of the nymphs who appeared in the blooming of the spring flowers (symbolizing her

annual return from Hades), and in the underworld she was the dreaded wife of Hades

and the Queen of Darkness who controlled the fates of deceased men.

The reenactment of such mythÏthe abduction and rape of PersephoneÏwas central

to the rituals of the Thesmophoria, and, as such, key to interpreting the bits of

information known.

The festival of the ThesmophoriaÏsometimes called the Eleusinian MysteriesÏlasted

between three and ten days. Each day of the festival had a different name and

included specific rites. A highlight of the festival was a procession from Athens to

Eleusis, which was led by a crowd of children known as ephebi. The ephebi assisted in

carrying the hiera (sacred objects), and in pulling a statue of Dionysus as a boy

(Iacchos), and finally in the ceremonial cleansing of the initiates (candidates of the

mystery religion) in the sea.

Upon arriving at Eleusis, the women organized the first day of the celebration

(anodos) by building temporary shelters and electing the leaders of the camp. On the

second day (nesteia) they initiated the Greater Mysteries which, according to myth,

produced the cult's magical requests (a fertile harvest). Such mysteries included a

parody of the abduction and rape of Persephone and the positioning of the female

devotees upon the ground weeping (in the role of Demeter for her daughter) and

fasting for the return of Persephone (the return of spring). The setting upon the

ground and fasting also intended to transfer the "energies" of the women into the

ground, and thus into the fall seeds. On the fifth day of the festival the participants

drank a special grain mixture called kykeon (a symbol of Persephone) in an attempt

to assimilate the spirit of the goddess. The idea was to produce an incarnated blessing

of fertility, both of crops and children.

About this same time certain women called "antleriai" were cleansed in the sea and

sent down into the mountainside trenches to recover the sacrificial piglets and

various other sacred objects that had been thrown into the hillside canyons several

days before. The sacred objects included dough replicas of snakes and genitalia,

which were burned with the piglets and a grain-seed-mixture, as an offering to

Demeter. The reason for casting of the piglets into the mountainside cliffs has been

thoroughly debated and no single interpretation has emerged as final authority.

While mystical representations can be made of the symbology, and the dough replicas

are obviously fertility symbols, pigs blood was sacred to the gods and thus the piglets

are key to understanding the ritual.

Greeks venerated pigs because of their uncanny ability to find, and unearth,

underground items (roots, etc). Some scholars conclude from this that the ritual

casting of the pigs "into the deep" was a form of imitative magic based on the

underworld myth of Persephone and Hades. That is to say, casting the piglets into the
