Hades Captures Persephone (Oil Painting)
Persephone I've been with my mother since childhood Demeter Live together and never think about marriage. Once Persephone was in the jungle with Nymph Fairies (in《 Homer Epic 》Chinese, she is with Athena and Artemis Gather flowers together in Enna, the Earth Goddess Gaia suffer Zeus The acquiescence of, let the earth out a narcissus In the process of picking flowers, Persephone unconsciously kept away from his friends. When he was about to pick the seemingly harmless narcissus, the earth cracked and four black horses appeared with Hades' golden cart Cupid The golden arrow forced Persephone onto the golden cart and forcibly occupied the girl Persephone. Hades has no formal wife, so Persephone naturally became Hades' wife.
The robbed Persephone cried sadly for his mother, Demeter Hearing Persephone's cry for help, she felt like a knife in her heart. She quickly put down her farm work and ran towards the cry, but Persephone had already disappeared. Demeter was very anxious, looking for his daughter everywhere. Therefore, everything on the earth stops growing (Demeter is the goddess of fertility and agriculture), the sun god Helios Having seen everything Persephone I told Demeter about her whereabouts Aretuza To Demeter).
Demeter found out the truth immediately Zeus Let him order Hades to take Persephone back to her immediately, or she will continue to make the earth barren. At last Zeus was afraid that everything on the earth would become desolate, so he sent Hermes To persuade Hades to return Persephone to Demeter. But before Hermes arrived, Hades began to play the emotional card and let Persephone eat the pomegranate seeds of the underworld. This makes Persephone have to stay in the underworld for four months every year, which is the harsh winter season on earth.
Hades abducted Persephone (sculpture)
In another version, Askalafus told the other gods Persephone to eat the pomegranate seeds of the underworld. Every year when Demeter is reunited with her daughter, everything on the earth grows, but in the other six months when Persephone returns to the underworld, everything on the earth is exhausted. In addition, there is a version that says Hecat He rescued Persephone and became his protector in Hades.
Some people think that this story may originate from the marriage between Zeus and Persephone. In the early statues, Zeus can be found on three sides. Zeus once ruled the sky, earth and the netherworld. Later, Zeus of the netherworld split into Hades, so Hades was also called "the underground Zeus". Later, combined with other explanations ancient Greek The man will take the adult girl from a group of girls as his bride for the wedding ceremony. The explanation of seasons was added later.
As an afterlife, Persephone showed mercy only once, and she was Orpheus He was deeply moved by Orpheus' song and agreed that Orpheus would send his wife Eurydice But Persephone put forward a harsh request: Eurydik Must walk in Orpheus And Orpheus would not turn around to look at Eurydice until they reached the ground. Orpheus agreed, but when they were about to return to the world, he could not help looking back to see if his wife was following him. As a result, Orpheus lost his wife forever.
