Demeter didn't just cause a famine. She threw the fit of the ages, a wrath only a mother could bring forth. Her anger and indignation was so great she brought Zeus to the bargaining table. Demeter stopped everything growing, throwing the world into winter. Or the season of non-growth. Only when it was agreed that Persephone could spend half the year with her mother on the surface did her mother's wrath subside and spring returned. But every year, when Persephone has to return to the underworld, plants wither yet again. '

Demeter is cool y'all.
