The Rarian Field (Ancient Greek: Ρ̓άριον Πεδίον, Rárion Pedíon, [rá.ri.on pe.dí.on])[1] was located in Eleusis in Greece and was supposedly where the first plot of grain was grown after Demeter (through Triptolemus) taught humanity agriculture.[2][3][4] It was associated with the Eleusinian Mysteries.
Demeter was often given the epithet Rarias (Ρ̓αριάς) after the field, or after its mythical eponym Rarus.[4][5]
