The third fairy is Flora. She is a fairy of nature. And accordingly, I immediately compared her with Demeter, who is the goddess of the harvest and agriculture, presiding over crops, grains, food, and the fertility of the earth. Demeter's attributes are sheaves of wheat or corn, baskets of flowers and fruits symbolizing the wealth and fertility of the earth, as well as poppies - symbols of sleep and death. According to legends, Demeter was the first of the earthly beings to harness a bull to a plow and plow a field. Then she threw oat seeds into the soil. People who watched the goddess's actions were sure that the grains would rot in the ground under heavy rains. But, contrary to their expectations, friendly oat seedlings appeared above the surface of the plowed field. Later, Demeter taught people how to take care of crops.
