What happens to Demeter?
There are many myths about Demeter, from the most well known of her daughter Persephone being kidnapped by Hades and becoming his Queen, and Demeter's search for her and then finding and Persephone's yearly travel between the Underworld and Earth, to which the ancients credited to being the cause of winter (death) and spring (life) of growing things, as both Demeter and Persephone were goddesses of the earth and growing life. Among the myths, while she wandered, one tells how she nursed the child Demophoon, son of King Keleos and Queen Metaneira of Eleusis; she would have made him a immortal god but Metaneira saw her putting the child in the flame and feared for him, speaking rashly, and Demeter heard her and heeded her, her task unfinished. Triptolemos was another such prince of Eleusis (though less clear is his parentage) who Demeter favored for having welcomed her, she gave him the secrets of agriculture and told him to share them with mankind, to better do so she gave him a winged chariot drawn by serpents. There are other myths, of course, but I give a small example of both the well known and less so that you have a wider idea of what happened to Demeter in some of the myths in Greek mythology.
