Abstract
The presence ofthe wheat in important myths like the Demeter myth is, above ali, an evidence of the importance of that cereal in Greek economy. But it is also an evidence of its use as a medium of transmission of structural ideas, such as those related to Life and Death. Our aim in this essay is to read those same ideas, trying to explain the way that Nature was Classical Antiquity's raw material to the construction of a metaphysic thought that was expressed, for example, by one of the most famous myths of the graeco-roman world: the myth of Demeter and Persephone and how nature cycles reflect within it.
