In

Demeter

;
Attic
:
Δημήτηρ
Dēmḗtēr
[dɛːmɛ́ːtɛːr]
;
Doric
:
Δαμάτηρ
Dāmā́tēr
) is the Olympian goddess of the harvest and agriculture, presiding over
grains
and the
fertility
of the earth. She was also called
Deo
(
Δηώ
).
[1]
. Her cult titles include Sito (
Σιτώ
), "she of the Grain",
[2]
as the giver of food or grain,
[3]
and
Thesmophoros
(
θεσμός
,
thesmos
: divine order, unwritten law;
φόρος
,
phoros
: bringer, bearer), "giver of customs" and/or "legislator", in association with the secret female-only festival called the Thesmophoria.
[4]
Though Demeter is often described simply as the goddess of the harvest, she presided also over the
sacred law
, and the cycle of life and death. She and her daughter
Persephone
were the central figures of the
Eleusinian Mysteries
, a religious tradition that predated the
Olympian pantheon
, and which may have its roots in the
Mycenaean period
c. 1400–1200 BC.
[5]
Demeter was often considered to be the same figure as the
Anatolian
goddess
Cybele
, and she was identified with the Roman goddess
Ceres
.
