In Greek mythology, Triptolemus was a son of Celeus, king of Eleusis. In gratitude for the hospitality shown to her by Celeus when she was wandering over the earth in search of her daughter Persephone, the goddess Demeter gave Triptolemus a chariot with winged dragons with which to visit the whole world and give mankind seeds of corn. On his return Triptolemus instituted the festival of the Thesmophoria, one of the two great festivals to Demeter. Research Triptolemus
