Demeter is a Greek goddess that is most widely known as the goddess of crops, but she is also the goddess of marriage, childbirth, and vegetation(grain especially). She is the mother of Persephone. Her parents are Cronus and Rhea. She is the sister of Zeus, Hera, Hades, Hestia, and Poseidon. Demeter is also known by her Roman name, Ceres. Demeter was in charge of growing the crops for everyone. Her myth is to explain the seasons and the pattern of crop growth. There are several different versions, but this one is my favorite. One day as Demeter was taking care of her crops, her daughter, Persephone was taken away by Hades, the god of the dead. She searched desperately for her daughter until the sun god, Helios, told her what had happened. Demeter
