PHILOMELUS
Greek Agriculture God
Also known as Philomenus
Enterprising Inventor of Farm Machinery
He was the poor son of Demeter, deprived of the riches of his scrooging brother Plutus.
In desperate poverty, he turned to agriculture to make ends meet – and discovered he was amazingly good at it. Not only did he become a farming hotshot, he even built the first plow. He may also have invented the wagon.
Farmers everywhere owe him a massive debt, but how many give thanks to the God of Farm Machinery? Luckily he was eventually rewarded by being cast into the sky as the constellation of the Big Dipper or Plow.
