Abstract:	The purpose of this paper is to formulate a few preliminary questions on the issue of initiation in both the Eleusinian Mysteries and Plato’s Symposium, with the notion of transposition as a basis for our work. We attempt to identify a few elements of the Eleusinian Mysteries that have supposedly been transposed to the dialogue between the ‘young Socrates’ and Diotima. The paper is divided into two central parts: the first, and the longest, analyses what initiation may have been in the Eleusinian Mysteries to gain a better understanding of the Eleusinian initiation and what transposition this initiation may have carried on to the case of the ‘young Socrates’. The second focuses on Plato’s Symposium, trying to identify signs and hints of elements from the Eleusinian Mysteries. The central focus is on the transposition of ‘vision’, to formulate our hypothesis that there are transpositions made by Plato from the Eleusinian Mysteries. In other words, the focus of this paper is mainly on the transposition of the motif of vision supposedly made by Plato from the Eleusinian Mysteries in the dialogue between the ‘young Socrates’ and Diotima
