Enhance your home decor today with this
fantasticwall sculpture museum reproduction of the Mother Earth Goddess!
This
relief represents Demeter, maternal Goddess of the Earth, and
especially of cultivated land. One of her attributes is wheat, shown here on
her head. The name Demeter means Earth Goddess (De=Earth, Meter=Goddess)
The
adventures of Demeter and her daughter Persephone constitute the central myth
of The Eleusinian Mysteries, the most important mysteries of classic Greece.
Her symbols are the ears of wheat and a torch. The ears of wheat are the
sacred fruit of the Goddess of Farming and Cereals, and the torch alludes to
the rituals of the Eleusinian Mysteries which took place at night by torch
light. Demeter is credited with teaching humans how to cultivate crops, a task
that she assigned to Triptolemus.
