And since Demeter has been responsible for the greatest blessings to mankind, She has been accorded the most notable honors and sacrifices, and magnificent feasts and festivals as well, not only by the Greeks, but also by almost all barbarians who have partaken of this kind of food.” Herodotus 5.68.3 (A limestone metope of Demeter and Persephone; found in Taranto, Italy; dated from circa 300 BCE.) -- source link
