Ceres

Comparing the poem “Demeter” to the Poem “Demeter to Persephone” For the Metamorphosis paper I am focusing on the divinity Demeter, also known as Ceres. The love of a mother in different retellings of the Hymn of Demeter and poems about Demeter show how a mother’s love can do great things to get their daughter back. One can say that the poems are similar in ways and that they go along with each other smoothly. The authors of both of these poems have done an outstanding job at making both of…

time of year . Her stomach drops and there’s a lump in her throat . Its that time of year where Pluto comes cruising over here to rip her away from her mother. “Oh why mother she cried why must this horrid curse haunt me for the rest of my life”. Ceres as sad as her daughter reassures her that the time will go by faster than she thinks. In a split second there was this big BOOM! Right outside of the house. In storms Pluto with a giant smile on his face and eyes that lit up a room. “My…

with Aeneas as his companions, based upon a confirmed omen from the gods. Aeneas then says, “‘Come, dear Father, onto my shoulders now . . . Little Iülus will walk beside me’” (Aen. 2.833-835). Aeneas then instructs his family to meet at a temple of Ceres to collect the household gods for the future generations and community. He then instructs Anchises, “‘Take into your hands, Father, the sacred gods / Of our country. It would…

In almost every society known to man, the dead are treated with an equal balance of respect and fear. The beliefs pertaining afterlife and spirits differ from society to society, but what remains constant is the desire to celebrate the life of the deceased, and to treat the body and the name of the dead with respect, which is often achieved through funerary rites and proceedings. In Rome during the 1st and 2nd Century, there was a careful balance of the respect held for the dead and the fear…

In the information given by Apollodorus, he refers to Demeter as Demeter, whereas Ovid refers to her as Ceres. Ovid says “Ceres first turned the earth with the curved plough; she first gave corn and crops to bless the land; she first gave laws; all things are Ceres’ gift” (Ovid, 109). In Ovid’s account of the Rape of Persephone, he adds information about Cupid, Hades, Persephone, and introduces a nymph named Cyane. However, although…

Because Venus is the goddess of love, and Cupid is symbolism for falling in love, Francken puts the two figures beside one another. They are seated beside two more figures that pair well; these figures are Bacchus and Ceres. Bacchus is the Roman god of wine, while Ceres is the god of agriculture. Already the pattern has become a little more visible, but there are still plenty to reveal. Looking a little to the left from the center, the audience is greeted by Hercules. Known for great strength…

created the three Furies (the three goddesses of revenge), and his flesh fell into the sea and created a foam, therefore Venus was born. Neptune is the Roman god of the sea, water, earthquakes and horses. He was from a line of sea gods and his parents were Saturnus and Ops, who were born from the titans. He was one of the twelve olympian gods. Neptune is often shown with long black hair, wearing sea green clothes sitting in a shell chariot pulled by whales, horses, or sea horses. He is always…

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…

on the definition of planets. Some have criticized that this discussion amongst scientists was not without political and non-scientific emotions or nostalgia. One rendition of the definition would have kept Pluto as a planet and included Eris and Ceres, boosting the number of planets to twelve. Still another recommendation kept the total planets at nine, keeping Pluto and the other recognized planets, but without providing scientific logic behind it. And finally, the third proposition, which…
