Homeric Hymn to Demeter 261

In this comment I need to concentrate on the actual form of immortalization that Dēmophōn and Achilles will be granted by the divine order. In the case of Dēmophōn, as we see in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter 261 and 263, he will be granted tīmē aphthitos, ‘unwilting honor’, by virtue of becoming the cult hero who presides over the prime athletic event of the Eleusinian Games; and, in the case of Achilles (Iliad 9.413), he will be granted kleos aphthiton, ‘unwilting glory’, by virtue of becoming the cult hero who presides over the prime poetic event of the Panathenaia.
