Demeter - Unknown date
"The Trinacrian land (Sicily) took its name from its shape:
It runs out in three rocky capes to the vast ocean.
It’s a place dear to Ceres. She owns, there, many cities,
Among them fertile Enna, with its well-ploughed soul.
Cool Arethusa gathered together the mothers of the Gods:
And the yellow-haired Goddess came to the sacred feast.
Her daughter, Persephone, attended by girls, as ever,
Wandered barefoot through Enna’s meadows."
-Ovid, Fasti: Book 4, April 12, The Games of Ceres
