Discover Persephonepink ‘s Popular Videos

She has been described as being extremely beautiful, even rivaling Aphrodite in various circumstances. Her hair, which dissolves into flower petals when cut, is connected to her emotional state — growing abnormally fast in moments of extreme stress or excitement. She can control the length of her hair when calm, but usually prefers to keep her hair cut short into a pixie cut.

Hermes is sent to retrieve her but, because she had tasted the food of the underworld, she was obliged to spend a third of each year there, and the remaining part of the year with the gods above. With the later writers Ovid and Hyginus, Persephone’s time in the underworld becomes half the year. It was explained to Demeter, her mother, that she would be released, so long as she did not taste the food of the Underworld.

Mythology

In Orphic tradition, Persephone is said to be the daughter of Zeus and his mother Rhea, rather than of Demeter. The Orphic Persephone is said to have become by Zeus the mother of Dionysus, Iacchus, Zagreus, and the little-attested Melinoe. “In Greek mythology Nysa is a mythical mountain with unknown location, the birthplace of the god Dionysos.”

In Eleusis, in a ritual, one child (“pais”) was initiated from the hearth. According to the Greek tradition a hunt-goddess preceded the harvest goddess. In Arcadia, Demeter and Persephone were often called Despoinai (Δέσποιναι, “the mistresses”). They are the two Great Goddesses of the Arcadian cults, and evidently they come from a more primitive religion.
