Greek Name: Demeter Roman Name: Ceres
Goddess of Agriculture

Daughter of Cronus and Rhea Sister of Zeus Mother of Persephone
Demeter is best known for her fierce defense of her daughter Persephone, whose father is Zeus. While Persephone was gathering flowers she was taken by Hades, lord of the underworld. While Demeter searched the earth for her there was no grain or harvest.
When Hades surrendered her for eight months the earth provided flowers and a harvest once more. For four months she lives in the underworld and for the other half she is walking the earth, giving us spring and summer.
