1. Goddess of Spring and Underworld

2. Persephone was the beautiful greek goddess who was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter (Goddess of the Harvest). She was picking flowers one day when Hades, god of the Underworld, saw her and fell instantly in love with her. He then abducted her and took her to the Underworld with him (other interpretations say he raped her, but I don't think so). She was clearly not happy there since she missed her mother and wanted to go back home. He agreed to this and tricked her into eating a pomegranate. She ate six seeds of the pomegranate which bounded her to the Underworld for six months (fall and winter) and the other six months she spent with her mother (spring and summer). She later became Hades' wife which gave her the title of Queen/Goddess of the Underworld.

(This is only one of the Hades and Persephone interpretations)
1. I think the Persephone really did love Hades.
2. I think the story of Persephone is very romantic.

1. pertains to great beauty borne out of utter chaos and pain

2. pertains to the point where the depth of darkness meets the crest of the light, thereby creating an unsurpassable, immortal, undefinable kind of beauty and bliss

3. pertains to the by-product of two opposing extremes. For example, when the most intense destruction process meets the most inspired creation process, it becomes a PERSEPHONIC process. It is the perfect balance of two imbalanced extremes.

4. the ultimate, universal truth : the world is a paradox.

5. self-contradicting glamour

6. best statement for a situation, wherein, no matter what tragedy happens in a person's life, the end only foresees her in a positive, ethereal light

Persephone is a lovely girl with a big heart. She's shy at first but once you get to know her, you'll end up loving her. She is drop dead gorgeous and every guy would gawk at her. Only one man could steal her heart and make her his. She's a powerful and vibrant girl, almost like goddess.
Guy 1: Wow...she's so beautiful. Do you think she would ever go for a guy like me?
Guy 2: Keep dreaming, that's Persephone. Everyone want her to fall for them.
Guy 1: *sighs* She's a walking goddess. Any guy who gets her would be so damn lucky.

Persephone is one of a kind. When you first see her your eyes will not want to look away. She has a smile of an angel and her personality is so perfect, it feels like it’s unreal. She has a body of a goddess. She’s got cake and cute face. All the guys fight for her, but only one can steal all the attention. Once you get her, never let go. She’s not like any other girl. She makes you feel the butterflies and if you ever to get call a Persephone yours, you’re one lucky guy. Never break her heart, because in the end. You’ll be the one crying. She will love you unconditionally and will always make you smile.

A Persephone is that one girl that walks into the room and makes everyone stop and stare at her. She's absolutely stunning and has the best smile. Everyone would die to be friends with her. She'll always be there for you. Even when you think you're not worthy of her time. She can change your mood so fast, sometimes it's crazy. She's made life so much better for me. My besties name is Persephone. It's rare for her to say she loves you, but when she says it to you. Just know you're lucky. She's very sensitive though. She cares too much and when she loves the wrong person, she hurts. A lot. Just remeber to keep her happy and she'll do the same for you. There's not too many Persephone's in the world, so keep yours safe. <33
