Enna

（Ἔννα) or Henna. An ancient town of the Siculi in Sicily, on the road from Catana to Agrigentum, said to be the centre of the island (ὀμφαλὸς Σικελίας). It was surrounded by fertile plains, which bore large crops of wheat; it was one of the chief seats of the worship of Demeter; and, according to later tradition, it was in a flowery meadow near this place that Pluto carried off Persephoné.
