Artist's Description
PERSEPHONE was the goddess queen of the underworld and the goddess of spring growth. One day Hades, the God of the Underworld, abducted her, raped her and made her Queen of the Underworld. Her mother Demeter despaired at her disappearance and searched for her the throughout the world. When she learned that Zeus had conspired in her daughter's abduction, she was furious and refused to let the earth bear fruit until Persephone was returned. Zeus consented, but because the girl had tasted of the food of Hades--a handful of pomegranate seeds--she was forced to spend a part of each year winter - with her husband in the underworld. Her annual return to the earth in spring was marked by the flowering of the meadows and the sudden growth of the new grain.
