Demeter is the daughter of Cronus and Rhea, granddaughter of Gaia (Earth), and sister-consort of Zeus. Her daughter, Persephone, was fathered by Zeus, and she had a son, Plutus, born from a union with the Cretan hero Iasion. Plutus (Wealth) personifies prosperity and played an important role along with Demeter in the Eleusian mysteries.
