Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, gathered into the underworld by Hades to become its dread and lovely queen. Having tasted the pomegranate seeds of the dead, she is bound to spend part of each year below, and her descent and return turn the wheel of the seasons. Maiden of spring and sovereign of the dead at once, she rules the shades with a power both gentle and inexorable.
