Hints

Hint #1

The sextant can be used to locate constellations. Click on the stars that make up a constellation to see its outline.

Hint #2

The location of each constellation can be recorded in terms of distance in a primary direction and secondary direction from your current location.

Hint #3

Since you are replicating Demeter's path to the Underworld, she may have given you something to help know which constellations to use.

Hint #4

The entrance to the underworld is on Earth, so a map will be useful in determining its location.

Hint #5

When the desired constellation is centered in the crosshairs, note the initial direction and distance as well as the secondary direction and distance.

Hint #6

Lyra is the first constellation on the vase. Its location is 9 west and 3 south from your starting point, Eleusis. Use the map to find the point 9 segments west From Eleusis, then from that point on the map, go south 3 segments. You should end up in Mantinea.

Hint #7

From Mantinea, Andromeda should take you to Argos by going east 4, then south 1.

Hint #8

From Argos, Hercules should take you 3 west then 3 south, putting you in Tegea.

Hint #9

From Tegea, Orion will take you south 9, then east 1, putting you at the southernmost point on the peninsula.

Answer

The map coordinates for the entrance to the underworld are W18.

Location 6: Eleusis

Objective: Find the entrance to the Underworld.

The thought of venturing to the underworld fills you with dread. But you are committed to bringing hope to humanity, and must now find the location of Hades Gate. As is typical of the Muses, Urania has placed a sextant, unlike any you have seen before, in your bag, without you knowing how it got there. You must somehow use this device along with one of Demeter's maps, to figure out where in the world the entrance to the underworld could be.

Enter the location

Calliope

I am Calliope, daughter of Zeus, and the first muse. I have been seeking a savior to be a hero to all mankind. In these dark days, there is little hope in the world of men. I beseech you to undertake a quest to find Pandora’s jar and return hope to the world. This quest can only be accomplished by a mortal - a mortal who is brave and clever and committed to the cause of mankind. I and my sisters shall support your efforts with the knowledge and skills that we alone can impart during your campaign.

To guide you on your journey, I have provided you the quest stone. It now reveals merely the past and present, as only the Fates can spin the thread of your future. You must go now to the altar of the fates, and prove yourself worthy to receive their gifts. Prove that you mean to bring balance to mankind, and they will reveal your destiny, written into the quest stone. Go now, and bring hope to mankind.

Kleio

I am Kleio, the proclaimer, glorifier and celebrator of history. Though the location of the great jar and the hope it contains remains* hidden to me, the fates have revealed that your quest will parallel that of Demeter, the mother of Persephone. To elevate yourself above the human sphere and complete your quest, you must undergo the initiation rites of the Eleusinian Mysteries.

To aid you, I have provided you the knowledge stone. With it, you will have access to knowledge that would otherwise be hidden from you. The procession to Eleusis begins at dusk on the 18th day of the month of Anthesterion. You have 24 hours before the procession begins. Make haste!

Urania

I am Urania, the muse of mathematics and astronomy. You are brave indeed to seek entrance to the underworld in order to bring hope to mankind. The entrance to the underworld is both known and unknown, as its location shifts with the whims of its guardian, Hades.

However, the stars shine on all, and will guide you to where you must go. You are in possession of Demeter’s terrestrial maps. Take this sextant and follow the path of the stars to the location on the map, and you shall be transported there in a dreamless sleep. Beware of what you find when you awake!
