can someone give me a summary of Demeter and Persephone?
in the world mythology book by Glencoe
There are a couple of versions of this story, this is the most known one:
Persephone was Demeter’s daughter. Demeter was the goddess of harvest and Persephone was the goddess of springtime. One day, while they were picking flowers, Hades, the lord of the dead, came out of the ground and kidnapped Persephone. Demeter looked everywhere for her. She soon learned that Hades fell in love with Persephone and asked Zeus to help him kidnap her so she could become his bride. Demeter was devastated and started to mourn for weeks. The crops started to wilt and humans couldn’t grow crops anymore. Zeus decided to do something about it. He told Hermes to bring back Persephone and to make sure she didn’t eat any food from the Underworld. (If you ate food from the Underworld, you had to stay there forever.) Hermes went and fetched Persephone. Before she left, Hades convinced her to eat 6 pomegranate seeds. Hermes made a compromise and said Persephone had to stay in the Underworld as Hades wife for 6 months, one month for every pomegranate seed. That’s why there are seasons. In the fall and winter, Persephone goes down into the Underworld and Demeter mourns. In the summer and spring, she comes back and Demeter rejoices.
