	Edouard Schuré and Rudolf Steiner met in Paris in 1906. Their personal meeting was preceded by a seven-year correspondence between Marie von Sivers and Edouard Schuré, in the course of which Schuré managed to interest the trained actress in Theosophy. He was the author of the book "The Great Initiates" and had also written several initiation dramas which fascinated Rudolf Steiner and Marie von Sivers greatly. Marie von Sivers translated three of these dramas - "The Sacred Drama of Eleusis", "The Children of Lucifer" and "The Guardian of Souls" - into German with the declared intention of performing them; Rudolf Steiner then put each of them into free rhythms shortly before the performance. The first performance of "The Sacred Drama of Eleusis" was on 19 May 1907 during the Theosophical Congress in Munich, followed two years later by "The Children of Lucifer". A performance of the third drama, "Die Seelenhüterin", planned for 1910, did not take place due to time constraints. This volume contains all three adaptations. In its adaptation by Rudolf Steiner, "The Sacred Drama of Eleusis" was not only put into verse, but also expanded: He added a prologue and epilogue based on Schuré's "The Great Initiates". Also printed are Rudolf Steiner's prefaces to German translations of Schuré's works. The volume documents Rudolf Steiner's first impulse to present mystery events on stage.
