About this work:


Proserpina, the Roman equivalent of Persephone, was abducted by Pluto and carried off to his underground kingdom. Ceres, the goddess of nature and mother to Proserpina, implored Jupiter to retore her daughter to her. When Jupiter agreed a crime had been committed Pluto was forced to release the girl. However, on her way to rejoin her mother and the world of the living, Proserpina ate some pomegranate seeds which then partially bound her to the underworld (a lesson to always read the small print!). So, for half the year the girl had to remain with Pluto and for the other half she was free to return to her mother. For the ancient Greeks and Romans this story was believed to explain the return of spring each year when Ceres was reunited with her daughter.
