The goddess associated with the harvest in both Greek and Roman mythology is Demeter (Greek) and Ceres (Roman). She represents agriculture, fertility, and the nourishment of life. Demeter is particularly known for her connection to the seasonal cycle of growth and decay, deeply entwined with the myth of her daughter Persephone, who’s abduction by Hades symbolizes the changing seasons. This association places her at the heart of agricultural practices, rituals, and the deep connection between humanity and the earth.
