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.
