Suppliants
A sacred spring associated with Demeter, near Eleusis, where Theseus's army musters.
for at the sacred fount of Callichorus my army camps in readiness and is being reviewed.
Would I could reach yon plains with turrets crowned, leaving Callichorus, fountain of the goddess!
Hymn 2 to Demeter
Callichorus is the Eleusinian place below which Demeter orders her temple and altar to be built.
But now, let all the people build me a great temple and an altar below it and beneath the city and its sheer wall upon a rising hillock above Callichorus.
