== == Demeter/ Ceres daughter of Cronus and Rhea, sister of Zeus, Hera, Hestia, Poseidon and Hades, was the goddess of farming. Demeter's daughter was Persephone [father Zeus] who was abducted by Hades/ Pluto god of the underworld and the seasons of fall and winter were born as Demeter suspended the flourish of all vegetation.

Demeter requested the help of Zeus for the return of Persephone from the underworld. Hades agreed with the provision that Persephone would spend six months with him in the underworld and the rest with her mother. Spring and summer were born and of course the "Ιερά Μυστήρια της Ελευσίνος" Holy Mysteries of Eleusis. The Eleusinian Mysteries were performed every year and the Great Eleusinian Mysteries every four years. They were iniciated by 1500 BCE and lasted the decree of Theodosius at 392 AD/ CE. The last emperor who initiated the Eleusinian Mysteries was Julian.
