Yes, Zeus and Demeter are brother and sister. Their father was Kronos and their mother was Rhea.

Ceres, the Roman goddess of agriculture, was married to her brother Jupiter, who was also her father.

Demeter is the goddess of agriculture, fertility, and the harvest in Greek mythology. She is responsible for the growth of crops and the Earth's abundance. Demeter is also closely associated with the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, as reflected in the changing seasons.

Demeter was born as the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, who were Titans in Greek mythology. She was one of the six siblings known as the Olympian Gods, who later overthrew their Titan parents and ruled in their place.

Zeus did not approve of Demeter's plan to make the earth barren. He intervened by sending Hermes to the Underworld to retrieve Persephone so that she could be reunited with her mother and restore fertility to the land.

Called "Demeter" in Greek mythology, and "Ceres" by the Romans, she was the goddess of the crops, and the harvest.

When Demeter could not find Persephone, she grieved deeply and went searching for her daughter all over the world. During this time, the Earth became barren as Demeter neglected her duties as the goddess of agriculture. This led to a famine until Zeus intervened and negotiated for Persephone to return for part of the year, bringing about the cycle of the seasons.

Some allusions to Ceres or Demeter can be found in literature, art, and mythology, where they are often associated with agriculture, harvest, motherhood, and fertility. For example, the story of Persephone's abduction by Hades symbolizes the changing seasons and the cycle of life and death. Additionally, the Eleusinian Mysteries were religious rites dedicated to Demeter and Persephone, celebrated in ancient Greece.

Demeter found Persephone with the help of Hecate and Helios.

Demeter is the Greek goddess of the harvest. When her daughter, Persephone, is in the Underworld with her husband Hades, lord of the dead, Demeter is in mourning and the plants die, creating winter. When Persephone returns to the Earth, Demeter rejoices and springtime occurs.
