The Goddess Demeter | Loulis Museum
Maza, the unleavened barley bread that kept the celebrated sailors of ancient Greece fed on their voyages, was a gift from the goddess Demeter, the protectress of agriculture, vegetation and the fertility of the earth. Demeter would lend her name to the English word for mankind's most important foodstuff through her Roman counterpart, Ceres: cereals.
The myth of Demeter's daughter, Persephone, is connected to the cycle of the seasons. It expresses our hopes of rebirth and symbolizes the lifecycle of wheat.
