 | | Potnia ("mistress" in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter) | | | Demeter herself was central to the older religion of Greece. | | | Pausanias passed the shrine to Demeter at Mysia on the road from Mycenae to Argos but all he could draw out to explain the archaic name was a myth of an eponymous Mysius who venerated Demeter. |

| | Demeter loved him, and wishing to make him immortal, she anointed him by day with ambrosia as if he were a god, and by night she put him on the fire and stripped off its mortal flesh. | | | It is told that Ascalaphus 2, son of the river Acheron (the river of pain in the Underworld) witnessed against Persephone in the matter of the pomegranate. | | | Later, when Demeter, being grown up, came to the banquet that Tantalus 1 offered to the gods, she, unwittingly, ate the arm of Pelops 1. |

| | DEMETER |
| | Another important aspect of Demeter was that of a divinity of the underworld; she was worshiped as such at Sparta, and especially at the festival of Chthonia at Hermione in Argolis, where a cow was sacrificed by four old women. | | | Demeter also appeared as a goddess of health, birth, and marriage and as a divinity of the underworld. | | | Among the agrarian festivals held in honor of Demeter were the following: (1) Haloa, apparently derived from halos ("threshing floor"), begun at Athens and finished at Eleusis, where there was a threshing floor of Triptolemus, her first priest and inventor of agriculture; it was held in the month Poseideon (December). |

| | Whether she symbolized all the earth or just its edible plants, Demeter was worshiped in fireless sacrifices, demanding all offerings in their natural state. | | | But the most common form of the Great Goddess was a trinity, rather than a pair of deities, and many scholars have sifted through the famous Demeter myths, hoping to find the third part of the feminine triad, the winter earth, the aged crone, the hibernating seed. | | | Surprised, Demeter chuckled, the first laughter the starving earth had heard from its goddess in many months. |
