> The most convincing theory about the nature of kykeon, results from

> kykeon. It would have been simple for an Eleusinian priest to collect
> the ergot from the wild grass growing near to the temple, grind it into
> a powder and add it to the kykeon. The theory is further supported by
> the fact that ergot is commonly found on grain,
