Persephone
- 1. PERSEPHONE Goddess of the underworld
- 2. PEREPHONE’S FAMILY • Persephone had two sisters, Athena and Aphrodite • They were related to her through her dad Zeus since he had so many different wives. • Her mother is named Demeter. • Her uncle which is her Husband, Hades.
- 3. Persephone’s life Persephone, daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Demeter being goddess of harvest and Zeus mighty god and possessor of lighting bolts. Persephone from the start of a young age loved nature and was named goddess of spring growth, because when she was around her mother was happy and made flowers grow. She had two sisters Athena and Aphrodite which she loved to have “play dates” with. Sadly she could not see them very often because they had different mothers, but the same father. One day when she was in her teens, picking flowers with her friends, there was a giant hole in the earth and none other than Hades, her own uncle came out. He captured her and took her to the underworld to make her his queen. She was so young and beautiful that everyone seemed to want her as there brides. When she was down there her mother mourned and searched the earth looking for her dear daughter. So Demeter had Zeus go look for her, once her had found her, it was to late, for it was too late. She had eaten A pomegranate in the underworld so she had to stay there. Her dad made and agreement with Hades though, she had to stay in the underworld with him for half of the year and the other half on earth, with her mother. The legend says when she is with her mother, she is happy and harvests all plant life. This means that it is Summer, and Spring. When she is with Hades, her mother is sad so henceforth it is Fall, and Winter. This is the theory of the seasons.
- 4. Help me escape! Persephone always mourned to leave. She claims that she felt trapped. Hades did his best to try to make her happy, but the underworld did not have much to offer for young Persephone. Eventually she had to get used to it, in fact she got a little too used to it. She became overprotective of Hades and would not let him talk to any other women. Persephone came as a sweet young girl, but now people say she has “two sides.” Her mom said “She will never be the same little girl I’ve come to know and love.” - Demeter
