The Greek Goddess Demeter

The daughter of Cronus and Rhea, Demeter was a beautiful Greek goddess and mother of eight. Living atop Mount Olympus, Demeter was very influential of the seasons. As the goddess of Earth, agriculture, and fertility, Demeter was responsible for rich and healthy soil, which made the growth of plants, trees, and crops more obtainable. Demeter had six siblings, all of whom were god or goddesses. Hestia, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, Zeus, and Chiron are the siblings of Ceres, a name she is also known by. Sito and Thesmophoros are two other names she is known by. Demeter’s parents were both titans, some of the best warriors of all gods or goddesses. The goddess of corn, grain, and harvest, Demeter had eight children. A different god including two by her brothers Poseidon and Zeus fathered each one of Demeter’s children.
Worshiped throughout Greece, Demeter played a vital role in the success of the land. Her daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades to be his wife in the underworld. She spent four months a year underwater while Demeter grieved over her absence, which made Demeter create winter. The Persephone abduction disturbed Demeter so much
Since she got to see Persephone in the spring, she was very joyful. She would be seen wearing an arrangement of flowers and other accessories in her rich, long flowing hair. As a fair-skinned goddess, Demeter wears a jade-jeweled crown, earrings, and necklace. During the autumn season, while her daughter was with Hades, she would be seen hold a basket filled with pumpkins, corn, grain, and other agricultural things. Also, during the same season, she would be wearing a dark cloak and yielding a golden sword. Through her journey to find her daughter Persephone, she can be seen bearing a torch in her hand. Additionally, she wears a wreath made up of corn around her neck. Those are the two main symbols that represent her during her expedition to find her prized daughter,
