Zapadno od same Atine, Eleuz (Elefsina na suvremenom dijalektu) bio je početna tačka Iera Odosa (Svetog puta) koji je povezivao Eleusis s drevnom Atinom prema istoku, a to je bio i dom tajnovitih i savršenih Eleuzinijanskih misterija.
West of Athens proper, Eleusis (Elefsina in the modern vernacular) was the starting point of the Iera Odos (Sacred Way) that connected Eleusis with ancient Athens to the east, and was also the home of the cryptic and pre-eminent Eleusinian Mysteries.
