Persephone
/pɜːˈsefənɪ/- Greek Mythology a goddess, the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Roman name PROSERPINA.【希腊神话】珀尔塞福涅(宙斯和得墨忒耳的女儿; 罗马语名PROSERPINA)。
She was carried off by Hades and made queen of the underworld. Demeter, vainly seeking her, refused to let the earth produce its fruits until her daughter was restored to her, but because Persephone had eaten some pomegranate seeds in the other world, she was obliged to spend part of every year there. Her story symbolizes the return of spring and the life and growth of corn.
