 Kykeon is mentioned in Homeric texts: the ''Iliad'' describes it as consisting of barley, water, herbs, and ground goat cheese (XI, 638–641). In the ''Odyssey'', Circe adds some honey and pours her magic potion in it (X, 234). In ''The Homeric Hymn to Demeter'', the goddess refuses red wine but accepts kykeon made from water, barley, and pennyroyal.
