Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898), ‘Ceres and Pan’, “Gazette des beaux-arts”, 1869SourceIn Roman mythology, Ceres is the goddess of Earth and agriculture and the term “cereal” is derived from her name. “Ancient Roman etymologists thought that ceres derived from the Latin verb gerere, “to bear, bring forth, produce”, because the goddess was linked to pastoral, agricultural and human fertility.“ -- source link
