Demeter in an ancient Greek fresco from Panticapaeum in the Bosporan Kingdom (client state of Rome), from the 1st century Crimea.

In the religion and mythology of ancient Greece, Demeter is the Olympian goddess of harvest and agriculture. She presides over crops, grains, food, and the fertility of the earth. Even though she is primarily known as a goddess of grain, she also took on the role of a goddess of health, birth, marriage and also had connections to the Underworld. She is also called Deo. In the Greek tradition, Demeter is the second child of the Titans Rhea and Cronus, and sister to Hestia, Hera, Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus. As with her other siblings with the exception of Zeus, she was swallowed by her father as a baby and rescued by Zeus.
