Jennifer Thomas Sheena Sarfine Ms. Burke Junior Communication Arts 29 January 2009 Persephone Throughout Greek mythology there are many different gods and goddesses. The one we found most interesting is Persephone. Just about all of the gods and goddesses have Roman names as well. Persephone’s Roman name was Preserpina. Persephone was one of nine children. She was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Persephone had five brothers and three sisters not including herself. Her siblings were Apollo, god of prophecy, his twin sister Artemis, goddess of the moon, Athena, goddess of arts and crafts and defensive war, Aphrodite, goddess of beauty and sexual desire, Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, they determined the length of each mortal’s life, Ares, god of war, Hephaestus, metal smith of the gods, and, Hermes, guides travelers and leads shades into the underworld. There’re myths behind many gods and goddesses. The myth behind Persephone is said to be how we came to have seasons, giving us the cold harsh winters and the beautiful warm springs. Hades, god of the underworld, was in love with Persephone, but she was not in love with him. Hades did not impress her. One day, I guess you could say Hades got tired of waiting around for Persephone to fall in love with her, so he kidnapped her. Hades then took Persephone down to the underworld to live out the rest of her life, to be his queen, and the queen of the underworld. After, be forced to live in the underworld, Persephone came to love Hades. Although Persephone did end up falling in love with Hades there was a problem. Persephone’s mother Demeter, was in complete rage over the fact that her daughter was in love with Hades.
