In Greek mythology, the legendary founder and priest of the Eleusinian Mysteries, son of Poseidon and the muse Calliope.
From Greek Eumolpos, literally 'with good song' from eu- (εὖ 'well') and molpe (μολπή 'song, dance'); represents an ancient mythological figure from at least the 6th century BCE.
Eumolpus represents how music and poetry were literally sacred in ancient Greece—his name means 'good singer,' and the Mysteries he supposedly founded were said to provide spiritual salvation to initiates.
