Demeter

Demeter is a figure from ancient Greek mythology, known as the goddess of agriculture, harvest, and fertility. She is often associated with the growth of crops and the nurturing of the earth. Her most famous myth involves her daughter, Persephone, who was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld. Demeter's grief led to the changing seasons; her sorrow caused winter, while her joy during Persephone's return brought spring and summer. This connection illustrates the cycles of nature and the importance of fertility and sustenance in human life.
