			=='''DEMETER''' ~~ Goddess of Agriculture ==
			'''Aliases:''' Ceres<br>

			Sister of Zeus, mother of Persephone, Demeter’s bounty
			gives mortals security and ease. No more must they hunt and
			gather to feed their families, but cultivate from the very earth
			itself. In her honor they offer up the first and best of every
			harvest — for antiquity teaches what will happen if her gift is
			ever withdrawn permanently. When Zeus gave Persephone
			to Hades in marriage without Demeter’s consent, when the
			Lord of the Underworld leapt up from a great chasm and
			abducted her as was the custom, Demeter denied the world
			a harvest, and civilization very nearly collapsed. The Theoi
			desperately entreated her, but she would not be moved by
			anything save Persephone’s return. In the end, Zeus relented,
			and Demeter would have her beloved daughter, but only for
			half the year — and so for half of each year, she lets the land
			lie fallow to remind the Theoi not to trifle with her or hers.

			In Rome, she was Ceres, Goddess of grains and fertility
			alike, preeminent among all the agricultural deities. She
			was a popular subject of worship not only for these reasons,
			but because of the Eleusinian Mysteries, imported from
			Greece, in which she was a central figure. Rome’s prosperity was attributed to her blessing, and her protection was
			given to the Tribunes, who were inviolate guardians of the plebian class.

			In the modern era, Demeter’s power waxes high. The
			Green Revolution — the development of chemical fertilizer
			and 100 other technologies—has driven food production to
			heights unthinkable even a few centuries ago. The advent
			of organized labor reflects Demeter’s power in a different
			way — the withholding of power resonates strongly with
			her denial of the harvest, and it pleases Demeter that mortals can take such a lesson. Yet, so many go hungry despite
			her gifts, so many are powerless despite her blessing, and
			for all her divine majesty Demeter cannot save everyone.
