ELEFSIS (Ancient city) VIOTIA
   or Eleusin (Eleusis, Eleusin). An ancient city of Boeotia, which stood, according to tradition, near Copae and the Lake Copais, and was, together with another ancient city, named Athenae, inundated by the waters of that lake. Stephanus of Byzantium reports that when Crates drained the waters which had overspread the plains the city of Athenae became visible.
