I think it's rare to know Zeus, but it may be rare to know Demeter.
This time, we will talk about "Demeter," the god of fertility, which is one of the 12 Olympian gods along with Zeus.
Zeus's older sister and inheriting the lineage of the Earth Mother Goddess
Demeter is a child of Cronus and Rhea. His younger brother Zeus is also a child of Cronus and Rhea. In the Greek world, I mentioned the story in the "Hera" section, so if you look at it, Demeter is Zeus's sister, but she is forced to have a relationship.
There are many women in the world, but no one can beat Zeus. As expected, it is a god.
Demeter, who was forced to have a relationship with Zeus, gives birth to the spring goddess Persephone.
This Penel Sepone has a special role in Greek mythology and is also the guardian deity of the battle nation "Sparta", which is rare in Greece. Later, the actual Greek world will be dominated by the Peloponnesian League centered on Sparta.
There is also a theory that Zeus forced Demeter to conquer Demeter, the god of the agricultural people who originally lived in Greece, by another Greek god, Zeus, who was a nomadic people. ..
In any case, Demetel is the Earth Mother Goddess and has a role as a Mother Goddess like her grandmother Gaia and her mother Rhea, and the fertility of agricultural products was more important than ever in the ancient world. He was a very important goddess in Japan.
There are many goddesses in Greek mythology, but Demeter is said to be the highest in her rank, even higher than Hera, Athena, and Venus.
By the way, Poseidon, who is also Zeus's brother and Demeter's younger brother, has a forcible relationship with Demeter, and she is also a goddess who has a rather difficult eye.
These gods are ...
Persephone kidnapping case-and winter was born-
The most troublesome thing for Demeter was not Zeus or Poseidon, but her eldest son Hades.
Hades fell in love with Persone and took him to his place of residence.
As you know, Hades is the king of the underworld. In other words, his place of residence is the Netherworld.
Hades's personality is, in a word, serious. He is fucking serious. I'm scared when a serious man goes out of control.
Demeter boarded alone into the underworld to bring Persephone back. Meanwhile, the earth where the goddess of fertility has disappeared is difficult.
Zeus tells him to return to Demeter, but ignores it because all the plants are dying, not at the level of agricultural production.
Perhaps Demeter is the only one who can ignore Zeus. She is an unfamiliar goddess in Japan, but she has such a high status.
Zeus persuaded Hades that Persephone could finally return to the ground.
However, Persephone had eaten about three pomegranates in her Netherworld, and she was bound by the rule that if she ate something from Netherworld, she would have to become a resident of Netherworld.
Normally, that rule is prioritized, but Zeus, who is in trouble, will balance only March of December when Persephone goes to the Netherworld. The appearance of winter in Greek mythology.
