This is a first-pass attempt to translate the Orphic Hymn to Antaias (Demeter) with the aid of the Liddell-Scott Greek-English Lexicon.
The Hymn seems to link the travail of childbirth with Demeter's search for her kidnapped daughter.
The word "Antaia" is the basis for the words "antagonist" and "antonym" and the prefix "anti-." It expresses a thing that balances another thing, or stands opposite another thing, literally "arising prevailing-point," with the prevailing point being the point when one force prevails over an opposing force.
Since the word "Eleusia" is another term for the Goddess of childbirth, (literally "essence loosened"), it suggests that the Mysteries of Eleusis may be the mysteries of childbirth. It is perhaps possible that Antaia refers to the tipping point of parturition?
