Editing Demeter (section)

Demeter seems to have accompanied Dionysus when he descended into the Underworld to retrieve his mother [[Semele]] in order to visit her now married daughter, and perhaps lead her back to the land of the living for the remainder of the year.{{sfn|Kerenyi|1967|pages=[https://archive.org/details/eleusisarchetypa0000kern/page/42/mode/2up?view=theater 42-43]}}{{sfn|J.

Once [[Tantalus]], a son of [[Zeus]], invited the gods over for dinner. Tantalus, wanting to test them, cut his son [[Pelops]], cooked him and offered him as a meal to them. They all saw through Tantalus' crime except Demeter, who ate Pelops' shoulder before the gods brought him back to life.<ref>[[Lycophron]], ''Alexandra'' [https://archive.org/details/alexandragreichi00lycouoft/page/98/mode/2up?view=theater 152-155]; [[Fabulae|Hyginus]], ''Fabulae'' [https://topostext.org/work/206#83 83]; Grimal, s.v.
