Demeter is the Greek goddess of agriculture and everything to do with growing and nurturing life. She’s the reason crops grow, and people have food on their tables. But she’s also a deeply caring mother, and her story with her daughter Persephone shows how much she loves and sacrifices. She’s all about the balance of life—seasons changing, life coming and going—and that makes her one of the most relatable and down-to-earth goddesses in Greek mythology.
