The rites inside the Telesterion were made up of three elements: Dromena (things acted), Deiknumena (things shown) and Legomena (things said). These were known as the apporheta (the unrepeatables)...
Repeat them, and it's curtains for you.
I'm not so sure that's true for THINGS WRITTEN though. I mean, you can find an awful lot of info on the internet these days. Like here's a scan of the whole rambling Hymn to Demeter. So... if ancient texts don't fall under copyright law... do ancient secrets? Seriously, would anyone really give a hoot at this point...if you told what happened in the Mysteries? WTH.
