**NOTE: As with most of the gods' stories there is a lot of variation so admittedly I cobbled together bits from different sources and periods and mystery traditions as I liked best (for example I include the less common version in which Dionysus is Demeter's son rather than her grandson, so I kept the story about Baubo the woman who hosted her, which features him as Demeter's child (but left out the part about flashing your guest as entertainment))... also there doesn't seem to be much of a chronological flow for events tied to her so I did my best to make one

.

In early days I was an heir

Of earth and all that grows

And with the Lord of Sky I bore

A child that all would know

.

For stolen from my care was she

Young merry maid so fair

And borne away to gloomy dark

Where keep the dead their lair

.

By stream and field and mountainside

Did I search high and low

Then did report make way to me

Of her ride down below

From flowered field 'neath golden sun

While choosing blooms was she

Was maiden taken like the breeze

By his ravish spree

.

But then her father said to me

Did by my leave he come

Then at my wrath so deep and fierce

Did crops then shrink and numb

.

So in despair did I then flee

And grieved I wandered far

To find a hope if so I may

To fetch her from his car
