The wife of Keleos (Celeos) and the mother of Demophoon.
After Persephone was kidnapped by Hades (lord of the Underworld), her mother, Demeter wandered the countryside disguised as an old woman and finally ended up in the city of Eleusis.
Metaneira hired Demeter as the governess for her young son but when Metaneira caught Demeter immortalizing her son, Demophoon, by placing him in the fireplace, Demeter revealed her divinity and established her shrine at Eleusis.
