About Me: My name is Demeter but in Rome I am known as Ceres. In my spare time I enjoy tending to my garden. In my garden I mostly grow grains and vegetables. I love making home made bread and enjoy cooking. I enjoy to read many different types of books. In my home town I keep to myself but enjoy going to the local farmer's market. The farmer's market always brings out the best in me! ​ Tale of Birth When Demeter was born she was eaten by her father, Chronus. Her other siblings as well had been eaten besides Zeus, who later rescued them all.

My brother, Hades, could not resist her beauty. One day when she was picking a flower in the field, Hades opened the Earth up and abducted Persephone. When I heard her screams I rushed to the field but she couldn't be found. I searched for her day and night, but stil no sign of her. I had gone to everyone asking if they knew where she could be. It was Helio who told me that he had seen Hades drag my daughter to the underworld. When I found out that Zeus had given Hades permission to take my daughter, I was furious. I then renounced my job to bring fertility to the Earth and the Earth would remain barren until the return of my daughter. Hearing the news of Zeus demanding the return of Persephone, she was happy to hear she would be seeing her mother again. Although, when leaving the underworld Hades offered her a pomegranate. She knew that anything eaten in the underworld means that the you were not allowed to return to Earth. She had eaten nothing while she was there. In her hunger she took the pomegranate and ate it. Upon hearing this news I was very ecxited. I was also very upset at the same time, for she had to still return to the underworld for four months of the year. I do not fertilize the Earth in this time and it has become known as winter.

Poseidon was known for creating monsters. I told him that I would like a beautiful and wonderful animal made for me. I said that if he made such an animal I would love him but I knew that it wasn't possible. I later found out that he had some difficulties along the way. He had made a camel, donkey, and giraffe. He had put all of these together and made me a horse. I loved it and while I was thanking him the other animals he had made came into the world. We now know Poseidon for making the animals that stil roam teh Earth today.

Powers/Symbolic Elements My powers are to fertilize the grains, while my symbolic elements were grains and harvesting.

References made to today's culture My powers are related to the culture by the word harvesting. People harvest many types of plants such as vegetables, fruits, spices, and others. People also harvest for their livings like the same for which I do.
