Note 17 — VII DEMETER (CERES)
Reading edition
The story of Demeter and Persephone is related in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, of which an abridged English version is given in the chapter on the Myth of Demeter and Persephone in Pater's Greek Studies. The same chapter refers to various other ancient forms of the story, one of the most important being that of Ovid's Metamorphoses, translated into English blank verse by Edward King.
