My speech as Demeter?

Question

Our project in English will be "parading" as Greek Gods and Goddesses. My role is Demeter and I should speak about her for 45 seconds to 1.5 minutes. What should I say? I mean, can you help me make an interesting speech for my English project?

Details:

She's the Goddess of Grain and Harvest

Eleunisian mysteries are celebrated in honor of Demeter, Persephone, and Dionysus

Her daughter, Persephone, was abducted by Hades, causing her great sadness. She neglected her duty and so the Earth's flowers wilted and harvest was not abundant. Zeus was dismayed so he asked Hades to give Persephone back to Demeter. Demeter was so overjoyed that she caused the spring flowers to bloom. However, Hades cunningly made Persephone eat promegate seeds which would require her to go back to the underworld for at least 4 months per year. Every time Persephone goes to the underworld, Demeter is stricken with grief, and spring (or is it winter?) is the season of the year.

her parents are Cronus and Rhea.

Answer 1

you can say:

Demeter the goddess of grain and harvest was a great and powerful god that the people on earth depended on.

one day her daughter,persephone,was abducted by Hades,causing Demeter such great grief that she stop the growth of plants and harvest on earth.The people on earth was in great pain with out grain.

One day Zeus offered to bring back Persephone.Demeter was overwhelmed by Joy that the harvest on earth was grown back at such a rate.

When Zeus found Persephone in the hands of Hades he was to bring her back.But as sneaky as Hades was he made persephone eat promegate seeds before she left.She ate 7 seeds.Therefore she had to go back to the underworld for 7 months each year.For the 7 months Demeter was gloomy and filled with saddness and the earth people did not have much harvest.When the 7 months were up she had Persephone returned to her side and the harvest on earth was always bountiful.
