    Ceres - goddess of agriculture
    Ceres was the Roman equivalent to the Greek goddess Demeter. In both Greece and Rome
    she was the goddess of grain and agriculture, so she was extremely important to farmers,
    and was credited with teaching humans how to grow, preserve, and prepare grain and corn,
    as she was thought to be responsible for the fertility of the land. Unlike a lot of the gods,
    Ceres was believed to take an active role in day-to-day life. She was also heavily associated
    with motherhood and motherly love, due to her close relationship with her daughter
    Proserpine (or Persephone); the wife of Hades. The Romans believed that the seasons were
    caused because Ceres went into mourning for half the year when Proserpine was in the
    underworld with her husband during the winter months, and would celebrate her return by
    making the earth fertile during the summer.
