"Queen of the Underworld, Goddess of Spring"
✦ Personality Traits
✦ About
Persephone is the dual goddess who reigns as queen of the underworld alongside Hades while also embodying the return of spring and the cycle of growth. Her yearly journey between the dark realm below and the bright world above creates the seasons themselves.
Daughter of Demeter and Zeus, Persephone was gathering flowers when Hades abducted her to be his queen. Her mother's grief caused all growth to cease until Zeus intervened. Because Persephone ate pomegranate seeds in the underworld, she must return there for part of each year.
This myth reflects the ancient understanding of death and rebirth, the necessity of descent before ascent. Persephone embodies transformation—the maiden becomes the queen, the innocent becomes the powerful, and the cycle of life, death, and renewal continues eternally.
✦ Famous Story
When Persephone first arrived in the underworld, she was a frightened maiden. But over time, she grew into her role as queen, becoming so powerful that even the dead feared her anger. She who was once a victim became the dread queen whose word was law.
