Persephone & Demeter Lekythos 450 - 425 BCE

"Ceres delights in peace: pray, you farmers,
Pray for endless peace and a peace-loving leader.
Honour the Goddess with wheat, and dancing salt grains,
And grains of incense offered on the ancient hearths,
And if there’s no incense, burn your resinous torches"

-Ovid, Fasti: Book 4, April 12, The Games of Ceres

"Demeter stands holding a royal sceptre and sheaf of wheat. She wears a crown upon her head. Beside her stands Persephone holding an Eleusinian torch and pouring libations from a cup." Persephone & Demeter Lekythos 450 - 425 BCE. Current location: Athens National Archaeological Museum.
