Hi, vegans and grass-eaters
Welcome to Dissecting History
With Pascu and Rodri
Today we bring you the goddess of farming
Demeter
Her dad ate her
Her little brother saved her
She fights ferocious Titans
She beat them all
They split the whole Earth
But not with her
Goddess of harvest and bread
She doesn't plan to tell you her mysteries
They went to a wedding
She falls in love with her nephew Iasion
Zeus doesn't like it
And he hurls a deadly lightning bolt at him
He sleeps with her
And then he impregnates her
She gave birth to a beautiful girl
Poor Demeter
But Zeus gave her away
Hades came and kidnapped her
She went looking for her everywhere
But she didn't find her
I saw your brother, he was carrying her off
Zeus allowed it
Angry, she leaves her home
And the Earth starts to dry out
She enters the service
Of a famous king that accepted her
She looks after his kids
She grows very fond of both of them
She bakes one
In the fireplace
To turn him into a god
Poor Demeter
You, what's going on here?
Demeter, come back to me
Somebody make her come out
I don't know what to do without you
Let my little one go
Let her return and that's it
Hades sets her free
With a small condition
She will return to my realm every winter
And her mother finally calmed down
She lent her chariot
To one of the kids she had cared for
She filled it with grain
And she teaches him to be a farmer
And with great effort
She teaches her mysteries
And all over Greece she set up
Festivals to Demeter
