Demeter is the goddess of the harvest in Greek mythology. This position on Olympus has lead her to interact with the hero Wonder Woman; she granted the champion her super-strength, durability and healing. Her parents were Cronus and Rhea. Her siblings are Hades, Hera, Hestia, Poseidon, and Zeus. Her daughter is Persephone. She is also known as the goddess of the sacred law, and the cycle of life and death. Her equivalent in Roman mythology is Ceres.

Demeter was first adapted by DC Comics by Ralph Mayo in Adventure Comics #193 (1953). As a character adapted from traditional sources, her appearances since have been inconsistent.
