You'd be forgiven for calling Demeter "Da Bomb" as she was a very important goddess in the pantheon of Ancient Greek deities. What aspect of Greek life did she control?

Demeter's symbol was wheat and she was critical to the success of the annual harvest. As the story goes, she spent her winters with Hades, which is why no grain grows during that season. Her Roman counterpart was Ceres.
