Ok, so The Olympians series is almost coming to its end. This is the second to last post in the series. By the way, I am James. Charles will be posting the last episode. Today's topic will be about Demeter, the goddess of agriculture. Demeter was a child of the Titans Kronos and Rhea (you can learn about them in The Titians series now!). Her daughter is Persephone, the goddess of the underworld, and you should know about her from the famous tale of Hades and Persephone.
Demeter was a peace-loving deity and the source of all growth and life; she was the goddess who provided all nutrition on the earth and taught mortals how to cultivate the earth and ease life. Demeter was most appreciated for introducing wheat to mankind, making man different from animals. I really appreciate it, Demeter.
The symbols of Demeter were the ear of wheat and the grains, as well as the crocus flower, the narcissus, the myrtle and the daffodil. Demeter was a rich-haired woman with golden tresses and slender feet. She was usually wearing a dark cloak and was holding a golden sword in her hands. That is all about Demeter, and enjoy the coming Titans series!
