CAVI Comments: S.B. Matheson (lists as: Palermo, Museo Regionale 2124): Celeus was the
Eleusinian king who sheltered Demeter and built her temple at Eleusis (cf.
hymDem), father of Triptolemos, according to a version in Apollodoros. The vase
shows a column behind him: the temple? Hippothoon founded the tribe to which the
deme of Eleusis belonged; he had a heroon at Eleusis (Paus. 1.38.4). He appears
on Malibu 89.AE.73, a dinos by the Syleus Painter, Clinton (1992), 106f., figs.
43-47.
