205-210 Then Metaneira offered her [Demeter] a cup, having filled it with honey-sweet wine.
But she refused, saying that it was divinely ordained that she not
drink red wine. Then she [Demeter] ordered her [Metaneira] to mix some barley and water
with delicate pennyroyal, and to give her [Demeter] that potion to drink.
So she [Metaneira] made the kukeôn[19] and offered it to the goddess, just as she had ordered.
The Lady known far and wide as Dêô[20] accepted it, for the sake of the hosia.[21]
