The Phliasians themselves admit that they copy the “performance” at Eleusis. They say that it was Dysaules, the brother of Celeus, who came to their land and established the mysteries, and that he had been expelled from Eleusis bEleusis by Ion, when Ion, the son of Xuthus, was chosen by the Athenians to be commander-in-chief in the Eleusinian war.

one of those who have written in honor of Demeter, and when he is making a list of those to whom the goddess taught the mysteries he knows nothing of an Eleusinian named Dysaules. These are the verses:—She to Triptolemus taught, and to Diocles, driver of horses,Also to mighty Eumolpus, to Celeus, leader of peoples,Cult of the holy rites, to them all her mystery telling.HH Dem. 474-476 At all events, this Dysaules, according to the Phliasians, established the mysteries here, and he it was who gave to the place the name Celeae.
