Most scholars name the rectangular enclosure anaktoron, locate in it the throne of the hierophant, and suppose that from it emanated the central revelation which occurred, in Plutarch's phrase, ‘when the anaktora were opened’. But it is also argued that anaktoron/anaktora refer always, as they certainly do sometimes, to the whole telesterion.
