Demeter was the Greek goddess of the harvest, grains, agriculture. Corn, in England, is a generic term that could refer to wheat or oats or any other grain. In that sense, Demeter was the Greek goddess of corn. However, Z. mays, the plant usually referred to as corn, did not exist in ancient Europe. It was developed in the Americas and only arrived in the rest of the world after Columbus.
