Demeter was the daughter of two prominent Titans: Kronos and Rhea. As the goddess of the harvest and grain, she held a high status in ancient Greek mythology. Despite being one of the first Olympian gods, he took a very different path from other contemporary Olympians. He refused to be confined to the kingdoms of Mount Olympus and went to temples dedicated to him. He lived close to those who worshiped him and was dependent on them in many ways.
