Abstrakt: This article reexamines some aspects of religious authority in late fifth-century Athens through the trial of Andocides in Greece in 400 BCE. It notes that the prosecution for impiety against the Mysteries overshadows everything in the record about normative religious sanction against asebeia. It points out that the prosecution associated to Eleusis is exempted to the rule of Athenian religious freedom in the classical period.
