Anybody? Anything come to mind? For hunting there's Diana. For farming I think of Ceres, bounty of the earth and that... But what else? IP: Logged |

Ceres was the Goddess of Agriculture or the harvest in Roman mythology. Demeter was her greek counterpart. Without Ceres, things on earth wouldn't grow and so people often suffered from starvation. The word cereal comes from Ceres...

I can't think of any, sorry! Of course look at Demeter to, as the counterpart to Ceres...but honestly it seems like there should be another one. I think it's a relatively known God to, like one I should know easily...but I just can't think of it! Ugh!! I will keep thinking about it, it could be Merc rx making me where I can't remember, lol!!
