Birth
Cronos had married one of the Titans named Rheia, and he was determined not to let any of his children rebel against him like he had done with his father, so after every baby was born Cronos Promptly swallowed them. He swallowed 5 of these babies in the same manner, until Rheia finally decided that she wanted some
children to play with so when the next baby was born she hid the baby away on the island of Crete. Then she presented a rock wrapped in swaddling clothes, and Cronos swallowed the rock. There the baby (Zeus) grew up until Rheia told Zeus what had happened with his brothers and sisters. Zeus and Rheia finally made Cronos throw up his brothers and sisters. Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Posiedon. Then Zeus made war on Cronos and won. This is the story of Demeter's birth.

Story
This is a story when Demeter turns into an old woman and goes to earth, and meets Metaneira. Metaneira then wants Demeter to nurse her son. Demeter then accepts the charge. She took the baby and tended him; and he grew up without food or milk, like something divine. For Demeter would anoint him with the ambrosia of immortality, and she would breathe softly upon him as she held him to her breast, but at night, unknown to his parents, she would plunge him like a brand unto the fire. And they all wondered to see him grow so big and strong; he seemed to be more than a mortal babe. Indeed, Demeter would have made him immortal; but it so happened that Metaneira watched, and saw what she did, and cried out, "Demoghon, my son, this strange woman is burying you deep in the fire! What will become of me! Metaneira then took the baby away. Demeter was angry with this and turned into a god and demanded a temple be built. They built the temple in Eleusis. Demeter then sat in the temple and caused a great famine. This famine lasted for a year until finally Zeus made Demeter end the famine , and Zeus made Demeter happy. This is a short story of the life of Demeter.
