Demeter was the daughter of the Titans Cronus and Rhea. She is best known for the story of her daughter Persephone, who was abducted by Hades to be his wife in the underworld. In her grief, Demeter caused all plants to wither and die, creating the first winter. Zeus eventually intervened and arranged for Persephone to spend part of the year with her mother and part with Hades, explaining the cycle of the seasons.
