You're right "ladyofthecanyon"! Because like her mother Demeter, Persephone too is a fertility goddess...ladyofthecanyon on May 12, 2006, 9:52:46 AM

wah! this is also another story different from the one i know... What kind of mythology book do I read! >.< well anywayz i thought the mother was ceres and yeah she's not suppose to eat anything in the underworld, but when hermes came to get her... (because ceres begged zeus and reminded him of their past love) Persephone already eaten like 6 seeds of this fruit and sooooo 6 months of cold weather (mother's sorrow) and 6 months of warm weather (mother's happiness makes the grass grow???) well I like this pic alot, the serene really look suits her! n_njira on January 16, 2006, 7:47:46 PM

I love her outfit! Persephone and Hades are my fav. couple (as I've said so many times! ^^)She looks very serene right here. No wonder Hades fell in love/lust.

Yeah! Spring, Summer and Fall, which is when she goes back to "Hades" that we feel her departure, with the coming of the cold season... Thanks!Nightbird on October 3, 2005, 12:04:54 AM

A renew innocent may be more the appeal then anything else, as Persephone was without sin as well as a beauty that Hades couldn't resist...Black_Breeze on April 2, 2005, 4:05:00 PM

Heheh, queen of the underworld. . . I never really thought of her like that, but she should be known by that title. One of my favorite myths, its also one of the most confusing for me. There are two types of the myth I read that totally is different from one another, and I could never know which one seems more. . . Well, interesting. Ha, Persephone looks so wise. . . jira on March 15, 2005, 11:38:03 PM
