Greek Son of Celeus and Metaneira,
brother of Demophon. A favorite of the goddess
Demeter, Triptolemus received from her the secrets
of corn and of agriculture. It is said that he invented
the plow and the science of agriculture and was thus a
pioneer of civilization. He was a central figure in the
Eleusinian Mysteries.
