greek-mythologies:Greeks as Greek Gods [Demeter (Δήμητρα) - Emily Koliandri (Έμιλη Κολιανδρή)] “To Demeter Eleusinia. O universal mother, Deo famed, august, the source of wealth, and various named: great nurse, all-bounteous, blessed and divine, who joyest in peace; to nourish corn is thine. Goddess of seed, of fruits abundant, fair, harvest and threshing are thy constant care. Lovely delightful queen, by all desired, who dwellest in Eleusis’ holy vales retired. Nurse of all mortals, who benignant mind first ploughing oxen to the yoke confined; and gave to men what nature’s wants require, with plenteous means of bliss, which all desire.”- Orphic Hymn 40 to Demeter (trans. Taylor) -- source link
