Demeter: Earth Goddess (Greek): In Greek mythology Demeter was the goddess of Fruit and field. When her daughter Persephone was stolen by Hades, she lay waste to the earth's fields. Zeus intervened and allowed Persephone to return to earth six months each year. While Persephone was in Hades, Demeter mourned her daughter's absence and the earth lay barren (winter). |
