If you do a search under greek and roman gods and godesses you can get the whole story about Ceres. Who knew Western Civ class would pay off some day *lol*

LMAO! I'm sorry, but "Goddess of cereal" just has me cracking up and I have to post the correct info. Ceres, which is the Roman name for the Greek goddess Demeter, is the goddess of agriculture. The word "cereal" was derived from the word "Ceres," though.
