- Their basis was a Bronze Age agrarian cult, and there is some evidence that they were derived from the religious practices of the Mycenaean period.
- The Mysteries represented the myth of the abduction of Persephone from her mother Demeter by the king of the underworld Hades, in a cycle with three phases: the descent, the search, and the ascent, with the main theme being the ascent of Persephone and the reunion with her mother.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Eleusinian Mysteries article was read about 240,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
