Ceres

in Roman mythology, Ceres was the goddess of the harvest, fertility, motherhood and agriculture. She is roughly equivalent to the Greek goddess Demeter. The name comes from the Indo-European root cer meaning "to grow." Fun fact: the word "cereal" is derived from her name. In Shakespeare's The Tempest, Juno, Iris and Ceres are the names of three spirits who appear as goddesses.
