The Eleusinian Mysteries - Supplemental Reading
You might find these articles interesting:
> "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 (loss), the search, and the ascent, with the main theme being the ascent (ἄνοδος) of Persephone and the reunion with her mother. It was a major festival during the Hellenic era, and later spread to Rome."
I'm noticing a pattern here: descent -> searching -> ascent as a path of spiritual initiation.
