The word [[cereal]] derives from Ceres' association with edible grains.<ref>''Oxford Languages'' online [https://www.google.com/search?q=Cereal+etymology&client=safari&channel=mac_bm&sxsrf=ALiCzsZHiUNZ4mKoOvHKvkmCaUCn59oRIg%3A1668420371579&source=hp&ei=ExNyY8byIOeAhbIP7daWsAg&iflsig=AJiK0e8AAAAAY3IhI-P_0aphIsDcA9HfHPrZfGQE3uJW&ved=0ahUKEwiGyNOctq37AhVnQEEAHW2rBYYQ4dUDCBE&uact=5&oq=Cereal+etymology&gs_lcp=Cgdnd3Mtd2l6EAMyBQgAEIAEMggIABAWEB4QDzIICAAQFhAeEA8yCAgAEBYQHhAPMggIABAWEB4QDzIFCAAQhgMyBQgAEIYDMgUIABCGAzIFCAAQhgM6BAgjECc6EQguEIAEELEDEIMBEMcBENEDOgsIABCABBCxAxCDAToLCC4QgAQQsQMQgwE6CwguELEDEIMBENQCOggILhCxAxCDAToICAAQsQMQgwE6CwguEIMBELEDEIAEOggIABCABBCxAzoICC4QgAQQ1AI6CwguEIAEELEDENQCOg4ILhDHARCxAxDRAxCABDoGCAAQFhAeUABY-Uhgn3poEHAAeACAAQCIAQCSAQCYAQCgAQE&sclient=gws-wiz]</ref> Whereas Ceres represents food, her son [[Liber]] (later indistinguishable from [[Bacchus]]) represents wine and "good living". The Roman comedian [[Terence]] (c. 195/185 – c. 159 BC) uses the line ''[[sine Cerere et Baccho friget Venus]]'' which at its simplest translates as "without food and drink, love freezes" or "love needs food and wine to thrive" - probably proverbial and widespread in his own day. It was adopted variously as a brewer's motto, celebration, warning, and a subject of art in [[Renaissance]] Europe, especially the north and the Dutch Republic. Ceres represented the grains that produced [[beer]] through the brewing process. Imagery that represented the profitable business of commercial brewing showed the grain-goddess as a respectable matron and Liber-Bacchus as a gentleman; a wholesome picture of moral sobriety and restraint.<ref>Santos, R. de Mambro, "The Beer of Bacchus.

Ceres is featured both as a goddess and Queen of Sicilly in ''[[De Mulieribus Claris]]'', a collection of biographies of historical and mythological women by the [[Florence|Florentine]] author [[Giovanni Boccaccio]], composed in 1361{{endash}}62 and notable as the first collection devoted exclusively to biographies of women in Western literature.<ref name="Brown_xi">{{cite book |last=Boccaccio |first=Giovanni |author-link=Giovanni Boccaccio |year=2003 |translator=Virginia Brown |title=Famous Women |publisher=Harvard University Press |location=Cambridge, MA |series=I Tatti Renaissance Library |volume=1 |isbn=0-674-01130-9 |page=xi}}</ref>

Ceres appears briefly to bless the wedding of Ferdinand and Miranda, in a [[masque]] at the ending of [[William Shakespeare]]'s play ''[[The Tempest]]'' (1611).

In 1801, a newly discovered [[dwarf planet]] or [[asteroid]] was [[Ceres (dwarf planet)|named after her]]. Two years later, the newly discovered element [[Cerium]] was named after the dwarf planet.<ref>Emsley, John (2011). ''Nature's Building Blocks: An A-Z Guide to the Elements.''

An aria in praise of Ceres is sung in Act 4 of the opera ''The Trojans'' (first performance 1863) by [[Hector Berlioz]].

A misanthropic poem recited by [[Dmitri]] in Dostoevsky's 1880 novel ''[[The Brothers Karamazov]], (part 1, Book 3, chapter 3)'' reflects on Ceres' heartbroken search for her lost daughter, and her encounter with the worst and most degraded of humanity.

In the US, Ceres is one of the three "goddess offices" held in [[The National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry]]. She is depicted on the [[Seal of New Jersey]]. Statues of her top the [[Missouri State Capitol]],  [[Vermont State House]], and the [[Chicago Board of Trade Building]], all of which have historical links with agriculture and agricultural trade.
