===Literary sources=== [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] describes the sanctuary in the 2nd century AD, as containing two temples, one for [[Demeter]] and Kore ([[Persephone]]) and the other for [[Triptolemus]]. There was a bronze statue of a bull in front of the latter.<ref>[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], ''[https://www.theoi.com/Text/Pausanias1A.html Description of Greece]'' 1.14.1-3</ref> Pausanias says that he was forbidden from discussing the contents of the sanctuary in detail by a dream and says nothing about the temple of Demeter and Kore, but does describe the temple of Triptolemus. This seems to indicate that the sanctuary consisted of an inner, holier section containing the former temple and an outer, less holy section containing Triptolemus' temple.{{sfn|Miles|1998|pp=49-51}} Other sources refer to an altar,<ref>Andocides 1.112</ref> a source of purifying water,<ref>Lysias, 6 (''Against Andocides'') 52</ref> a shrine called the Tomb of [[Immaradus]],<ref>[[Clement of Alexandria]], ''Protrepticus'' 3.45</ref> and a Ploutonion.<ref>''[[Inscriptiones graecae|IG]]'' II<sup>2</sup> 1672, line 168ff.</ref>
