Wait, wouldn't her and the other Greek gods come to America thanks to the obsession of Greek and Roman mythology by the educated in the 18th century? The Founding Fathers enjoyed a lot of Classical mythology and borrowed a lot from ancient Greece and Rome when they founded the US. So, why not derive Demeter's coming to America from there? In season one it was already established that attention to a god was enough for it to sustain life, not actual worship. That's why you have the New Gods. I guess by this time the show has jumped the shark with its lore.
It's been a long time since I watched season 1, but while attention may be enough to sustain a god's life, it might not be enough to summon one. I can envision worship being required for that feat. The founding fathers also do not feel like an appropriate vehicle to introduce Demeter in particular. Also, according to the American Gods wiki page, this scene took place in 1765, so the timing isn't that far off. It does not feel like an instance of jumping the shark to me.
@@fong03 But what about the New Gods like Media, both new and old forms? She wasn't summoned by the kind of worship we see in this video. There weren't any explicit religious prayers when she appeared. Or an example of an old god like Anubis appearing at a Muslim woman's home in the first season. She worships Allah but her loving and believing the stories she was told as a child of Egyptian mythology were enough for Anubis to appear to her. Why not the educated during the colonial era in the 18th century who took a lot of inspiration from the Greek and Roman gods?
I mean no ones obliged to do anything for Demeter in the same way she’s not obliged to do anything for us. Off the top of my head human sacrifice was never a big part of her worship but, like most other Greek gods, animal sacrifice was. Pigs were a favourite of hers since they allegedly covered the tracks Persephone made on her way to the underworld, stopping Demeter from reaching her in time to ‘save’ her.
The best sacrifice for Demeter are Calla Lily and Pig Innards. If you can get those above, then just bring Honey or Meads. The most general sacrifice for Gods.. In Nordic, the viking sacrifice bull/cow innards instead of pig for good harvest. In Indonesia, the Javanese would sacrifice bull head for ie. Probably Demeter came from Greek and Cow is regarded as sacred animal compares to pig.
Okay, there are a few misconceptions and a lot of the truth in this comment thread, but all of you have nuggets of the correct information. Demeter’s mystery cult in Greece at Eleusis was a mystery cult, meaning we don’t really know how the Greeks worshipped her, but we know a few things from the historical and archeological record. The Greek gods did demand animal sacrifices but never human ones. Demeter’s worshipers did most commonly disembowel sows to worship her. As far as human sacrifices, to be a part of Demeter’s mystery cult, the only requirement we are sure of is that no initiates could have ever committed a blood crime, meaning you can’t have killed another human being.
If you guys want to see what remains of Demeter in a Hindu format, one needs to Visit Varanasi to the temple of Annapoorna (The Goddess of the Grain) what a sight and with her blessings no one goes to sleep hungry within the City. ❤️🙏
I am almost done watching the series, and I was wondering if anyone is as confused about this series as I am? Don't get me wrong, I like it, but I'm totally lost in regards to the story. Lol! FYI, this has to be one of my favorite scenes in the whole series.
Annapoorna and demeter are very different.. their stories and folklore are nothing alike.. but i get your point of view.. both are goddesses of grain..
This is a couple centuries before present day so I think it makes sense to have “aged” her. Just like Odin is younger during this time period. I would argue though that being a goddess of the harvest, aging her is suppose to be symbolic; we meet her during the “spring of her womanhood” and meet her again during the “winter” of her life, just before she disappears. I think it makes sense.
In the Eleusinian Mysteries after Demeter lost her daughter she took the form an old woman to take up residence in the house of the king of Eleusis to take care of his infant son Demophon since she couldn’t care for her own daughter
You must be a delight at parties. Isn't this the same as portraying Cleopatra as black instead of Greek, Macedonian or is it only a problem when it is a white person. Your racism is showing.
this is such a beautiful scene.
That's one way to end a famine.
If we don’t see Hecate I’m going to be mad
Yes , U don't.
Mother hecate
She’s kinda of OP in any story and even more so in DC universe
HAIL HECATE
I thought Zorya Verchenyaya was Hecate but naahh
I am obsessed with the melody. Anybody knows where I could find the full version?
Could you find it? Please tell me you did

If that was the case imagine how many god of war fans would manifest Kratos, lol
But I agree with you

Does Demeter ever demand human sacrifice? Or any kind of animal sacrifice?

In Ancient Greece sacrifice was forbidden, the people could do offerings should they chose to do so, but never sacrifices or stuff like that.

It is quite confusing as Brian fuller left after season 1 taking some of the actors with him, this caused the show to divergent from the books.

Why does demeter look like a young lady here?? She looks like an elderly lady in present day...isn't she a goddess? Why did she age so much?

Most likely bc less people believed in her in America over those centuries.

Maybe god can change their age by their powers

Go chat with Ostara about that.
Demeter a Greek goddess from Pre-BCE Mediterranean lands of course gets portrayed as a blond white lady. SMH..
