Demeter is the goddess of harvest, wheat, and fertility. She is the son of Rhea and Kronos who are Titans.
Many underestimate the existence of this goddess, but apparently, she has the power to control the harvest and the weather. For this reason, Demeter was one of the goddesses held in high esteem by the Greeks. They even built a special shrine to make offerings to Demeter.

Pan is the god of the wild and the shepherd. His appearance also reflects this. He looks like a human but with horns and legs that resemble a goat.
The name "Pan" comes from the word "panic" or panic. There are two explanations for this. First, when Zeus fought against the Titans, Pan was nearby. At that time, he screamed so loud that the Titans fled.
The second explanation is that Pan often makes strange noises at night when he is in the forest. It’s done to make wandering people panic and fear.
