These books are not about Hades and Persephone. Lists are re-scored approximately every 5 minutes. greek, greek-mythology, hades, mythology, myths, persephone. The pair would be reunited as long as Orpheus did not look back during the exit from the Underworld, but the Greek hero did glance back, and so lost Eurydice until he himself died. Medusa, A Love Story (Loves of Olympus, 1) by.
Persephones mother, Demeter, goddess of agriculture. Hades was also merciful when Orpheus came and asked for the return of his wife, Eurydice. Hades, god of the Underworld, abducted Persephone and brought her to his kingdom to be his wife. Hades agreed to the request as long as Cerberus was not hurt during the attempt. One day when Persephone was alone in her fields, the ground suddenly split open, and out sprung a huge chariot being pulled by black horses. Heracles was actually in the Underworld undertaking one of his labours, a labour which involved the kidnapping of Cerberus, but rather than simply take the guard dog, Heracles would ask the permission of the god. Theseus would eventually be released by Heracles, but Pirithous would remain imprisoned for eternity. Hades though was well aware of the plans of the pair, and when they sat down to eat with the god, Hades would ensnare them both within stone chairs.
Theseus and Pirithouswould travel together to the Underworld when Pirithous decided that he wanted Persephone to be his wife. Hades would rarely leave his domain, and so stories of the god in Greek mythology were often based around visitors to his realm and even though no living person was supposed to leave the Underworld, many did. Sometimes Hades was thought of as being Death, but in Greek mythology there was a separate god for this role, Thanatos, a son of Nyx. The soul of the departed were therefore the population of Hades' realm, but the god let the judging be done by others, and instead the god simple appreciated the fear and reverence that his position gave him. But Hades had other plans for Persephone: He would steal her innocence and virginity and turn her into the dreaded goddess of the Underworld. The dead would be judged as to how their lives had been led, and eternity might be spent in Tartarus, the Elysian Fields or the nothingness of the Asphodel Meadows. The only daughter of Zeus and Demeter (the goddess of grain, agriculture, and fertility), Persephone was an innocent maiden, a virgin who loved to play in the fields where eternal springtime reigned. Today, it is common to think of the Greek Underworld as Hell, and indeed the name Hades is often used in place of the word hell, but the ancient Greek realm was more than hell, for whilst it contained Tartarus, the hell pit, it also included the Elysian Fields, paradise. The division was undertaken by the drawing of lots, and so Zeus became lord of heaven and earth, Poseidon received the earth's waters, and Hades was given the Underworld. V ictory meant that the cosmos now needed to be divided between the three sons of Cronus.
