In Greek mythology, the goddess of the harvest known for her connection to the seasons is Demeter. Her role emphasizes agricultural fertility and the cycle of life, particularly through the seasonal changes influenced by her daughter, Persephone. Demeter’s grief for Persephone, who is captured by Hades, leads to winter, while her joy upon her return marks spring. This duality in her narrative symbolizes the natural cycles of growth and decay in the world and emphasizes the importance of agriculture.
