People would pray to the Greek god Demeter for a good harvest. This was because she was the most generous of all of the Greek gods and was beloved for her service to mankind in giving them the gift of the harvest, the reward for cultivation of the soil. The Roman name for Demeter was "Ceres", from whence we get our English word "cereal".
