The Myths
When Hades took her daughter Persephone below, Demeter's grief froze the world barren — the first winter. Her joy at each reunion brings the spring back with her.
Symbols & Domains
Sheaves of wheat, the torch, and the cornucopia. Demeter governs the harvest, the seasons, and the quiet power that feeds every city that ever raised an army.
Famous Children
Persephone, queen of the Underworld, and Plutus, wealth itself. Demeter's children make things grow — crops, camps, and people.
