Demeter and her daughter, Persephone, the goddess of Spring. (1900)

^^^Love this picture but Demeter is the Goddess of fertility, grain & agriculture and Persephone or “Kore” is the vegetation goddess & also the Queen of the Underworld. Neither are “Goddesses of Spring” per-se, but their myth is the personification of the growth of vegetation in the spring and withdrawal after harvest.
