Demeter - Tumblr Posts
In love with Leo and Diane Dillon’s Greek mythology art, from the 60s Classical Greece book by Time-Life
i think the next completely unfaithful reimagining of the persephone myth should be a Taken-style action adventure where demeter viciously fights her way through the underworld to rescue her daughter
I feel like people sometimes forget that Hades was Persephones uncle and that Demeter and Hades are siblings......

How horrid are Demeter and Persephone?
Yes.

HADES
HERA
DEMETER
HESTIA
APOLLO
ARTEMIS
ATHENA
HEPHAESTUS
ARES
APHRODITE
DIONYSUS
HERMES
Fun fact about Greek mythology: in many versions of the story, Hestia, Hera and Demeter are actually the oldest of the six siblings (the other three being Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus). Zeus was the YOUNGEST of Rhea and Cronus’s children, but he was in the mortal world (not Cronus’s stomach) for the longest time so he is considered the oldest. All their ages basically got reversed because they had to go backwards age order to get out of Cronus.
So what is my point, you may ask?
In PJO, the prophecy says “a halfblood of the eldest gods shall reach sixteen against all odds.” By the logic shown above, this could be a child of Hestia, Hera, and Demeter as much as it could be a child of Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades.
So imagine if everyone was freaking out about Percy turning sixteen and then this Demeter kid stands up and kills Luke/Cronus. How shook the camp would be. Like, Demeter kids. Not at the bottom of the chain of respected godly parents, but low down. Defeats Cronus.

If you have any incorrect Greek gods quotes you want me to draw feel free to suggest them.
🌾 Demeter and Persephone 🌾
I guess springtime got me thinking about the two of them, which is kind of ironic since this painting is set just before Persephone's departure into the underworld.
I also thought the mother-daughter relationship and Demeter's grief at her daughter's marriage/ metaphorical "death" (as described in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter) would be interesting to explore artistically.

Hi, I'm a 'beginner' witch and pagan just looking for some advice. I say beginner because orthough I have been slowly researching and engaging with my practice for years because of other life events I have never really gotten too involved.
But now that my life had calmed down a bit more I was looking or working with/worshiping both Demeter and aphrodite. I have made alters and cast spells in the name of both goddess for years but have never truly worshipped them. I'm a classics student so know the mythology surrounding them both already but was just wondering if anyone had any advice on what is should do next?
I have a Gumbie Cat in mind ❤️❤️❤️🐱🐱🐱

But fr guys, is there like a site or app or smth that will tell you WHO really is your godly parent???? Please help
Also, I'm sorry if the divorced parents and foster care joke offends anyone. Sending love
