Children Proserpina, Liber
Greek equivalent: Demeter
In ancient Roman religion, Ceres was a goddess of agriculture, grain crops,fertility and motherly relationships. Origin of the word: ‘cereal’. She was originally the central deity in Rome’s so-called plebeian or Aventine Triad, then was paired with her daughter Proserpina in what Romans described as “the Greek rites of Ceres”.

She was also honoured in the May lustratio of the fields at the Ambarvalia festival, at harvest-time, and during Roman marriages and funeral rites.
