[272] Καλλιχόρου: see on 99; this well was not identified until 1892, when excavations shewed it to be situated by the great Roman propylaea, just outside the precinct. The well-mouth is surrounded by concentric circles, which no doubt served as marks for the Eleusinian woman who danced round the water in honour of the goddess ( Paus.i. 38. 6). For references to the discovery see Philios p. 57 f., and Svoronos p. 252.
