Demeter, Goddess of Grain, as Hera, Goddess of Marriage and Persephone, the Kore and Queen of the Underworld, is a vulnerable goddess. These 3 goddesses personify archetypes that represent the traditional roles of women : mother, wife and daughter.

The vulnerable goddesses are the relationship-oriented goddesses, whose identity and well-being depend on having a significant relationship. They express the needs in women for affiliation.

In Greek mythos, Demeter, Goddess of Grain, presided over bountiful harvests. She was portrayed as a beautiful woman with golden hair and dressed in a blue robe. Part of her name, "meter", seems to mean mother: she was worshipped as a mother of grain and of the maiden Persephone.
