A person who is initiated into the ancient Greek mysteries, particularly the Eleusinian Mysteries, or an epic poet.
From Greek 'epops' or related to 'epos' (epic poetry). In ancient Greek religion and literature, this term specifically referred to those admitted to secret religious rites or those who composed heroic narrative poems.
An epop at Eleusis was sworn to absolute secrecy about what they witnessed in underground chambers—for 2,000 years, the greatest minds of Greece kept quiet, making the Mysteries history's most successful cover-up!
