Before this is discussed, I will explain what an archetype is and what traits and similarities one must have to become a

Demeter is from Greek mythology, and is known as the goddess of the harvest. Demeter is most known for the story of her daughter, Persephone, being taken away by Hades. Hades was the God of the underworld. The story is to explain why there are seasons and why these seasons are repeated each year. The myth is fairly simple, Hades takes Persephone away from Demeter. Demeter was so sad by this, that she neglected her duties as goddess of the harvest and all the vegetation died. Zeus, who was the God of all gods, demanded that Hades return Persephone to Demeter. Hades did do so, but not without first giving a pomegranate seed to her for her to eat. This seed would make Persephone return to Hades in the underworld for four months each year. Thus giving the world its four months of winter, when no harvest shall grow. Demeter goes through the same cycle of turmoil every time her daughter leaves. Although Demeter, as a woman, appears to have the ability to give life with the harvests and child, she also has the ability to take that life away. This is one of the greatest distinctions of the mother archetype. To associate Demeter with life giving qualities, one can only expect the opposite in return. Her depiction of power of the growth to the harvests is simply man’s representation of his own views on woman and their ability to give life and the awareness of taking that life away. The comparison of the seasons, with Demeter, is also man’s view on life. What man destroys, nature will help refurbish. Just as woman can continue to bring in new life to the world.

Here we see the goddess Isis of Egyptian Mythology. I am Isis, I am she who is called goddess by women I gave and ordained laws for humans which no one is able to change I divided the earth from the heavens I ordered the course of the sun and the moon I appointed to women to bring their infants to birth in the tenth month I made the beautiful and the shameful to be distinguished by nature I established punishment for those who practice injustice I am Queen of rivers and winds and sea I am the rays of the sun Fate hearkens to me Hail Egypt that nourishes me.
