Marchesa Details
Demeter (Δημήτηρ) was the goddess of the harvest, fertility, agriculture, nourishment, growth, nature and the seasons in Greek mythology. Endowed with the power to bring feast and famine to the world, she was said to have the ability to control the seasons and transform the face of nature. In fact her powers were able to influence Zeus(king of the gods) into making Hades(god of the dead) bring her daughter Persephone up from the underworld. She had been playing with some Nymphs, whom Demeter later changed into the Sirens as punishment for not having interfered, and the ground split and she was kidnapped by Hades. Life came to a standstill as the depressed Demeter searched for her lost daughter with the aid of Hecate(goddess of magic). Finally, Zeus could not put up with the dying earth and forced Hades to return Persephone by sending Hermes(messenger of the gods) to retrieve her. But before she was released, Hades tricked her into eating six pomegranate seeds, which forced her to return for six months each year. When Demeter and her daughter were together, the earth flourished with vegetation. But for six months each year, when Persephone returned to the underworld, the earth once again became a barren realm.

Gaia (Γαῖα meaning ‘earth’) was the goddess of the earth and one of the primordial elemental deities born at the dawn of creation in Greek mythology. She was one of the first beings to emerge from Khaos at the creation of the Universe and was the mother of all Gods, Giants and mortal creatures who sprang from her. Gaia was also the prime opponent of the heavenly gods. First she rebelled against her husband Ouranós(god of the sky), then she assisted Zeus(king of the gods) in overthrowing Kronos(god of time). Finally, she was angry with Zeus for putting her Titan sons into Tartarus, by producing the tribe of Giants and Typheous to try and destroy and dethrone him, but both failed in their attempts.
