Demeter
In ancient Greek religion and myth, Demeter is the goddess of the harvest, who presided over grains and the fertility of the earth.
Though Demeter is often described simply as the goddess of the harvest, she presided also over the sanctity of marriage, the sacred law, and the cycle of life and death.
