=== My mythology project is on a very beautiful powerfull godess. this beautiful godesses name is Demeter.demeter was the Godess of th Harvest or the Godesses of the Fields. Demeter was the daughter of Rhea (a titan) and Cronus (the titan of storms and the sky). Cronus may or may not have swallowed Demeter as soon as she was born because an oracle had said that one of his sons would overthrow him.Cronus in some myths ate all of his other children as well, until Rhea got indignant and hid baby Zeus (the god of storms and the sky) instead of giving him to Cronus. Cronus was unaware of her deception because Rhea wrapped some stones in a baby blanket and told him it was Zeus. When zeus grew up Rhea fed cronus a potion to puke up demeter. Demeter comes across persephone which is her daughter.Persephone was kidnapped by Hades. Demeter searched high and low for her. Zeus could not put up with the dying earth and forced Hades to return Persephone by sending Hermes to retrieve her.Demeter is easily confused with Gaia or Rhea and with Cybele The goddess's epithets reveal the span of her functions in Greek life. Demeter and Kore ("the maiden") are usually invoked as (the two godesses). Demeter and Poseidons names are linked in the earliest scratched notes in Linear b found at Mycenaean Pylos where they appear as and in the context of sacralized lot-casting. The '' element in each of their names is seemingly connected to an Proto-Indo-European root relating to distribution of land and honors (compare Latin "to give").also a buisness called Demeter-International e. V. - A World-wide Network. Its a buisness that tries to nourish messed up land. ===



 **The goddess Demeter is best known for her ferocity and endurance in the defense of her daughter, Persephone, following her abduction by Hades, the god of the Underworld. She reminds us to be firm and unswaying when we are taking a stand for what is right or what we need and deserve.** Consumed with grief following the disappearance of her daughter, the [|goddess Demeter] wandered endlessly through the world in search for her, creating many legends along the way. Demeter made a stand and withheld the harvest, and refused to "produce" until Persephone was freed. So valuable were her gifts that the gods had to concede, and the goddesses [|Demeter] and Persephone were eventually reunited.



My thoughts​

Demeter is a great godesses.i would be her friend she is nice. she keeps our earth nourished. Demeter is very beautiful,shes a very down to earth person to me.
