Persephone: The Maiden

M. Kay

A light-hearted retelling of the timeless love story between Hades and Persephone.

"I’m curious. What were you thinking bringing a girl like her to a place like this? That child has spent her whole entire life kissed by sunshine, surrounded by beauty, music, and flowers, watching butterflies floating by on the wind, and you brought her here. Here where it is dark and dank, and everywhere she looks, there are dead people." Hecate

Following the death of his first wife, Hades the Lord of the Underworld becomes morose and melancholy. He even wishes to die himself but once he sees the beautiful maiden Persephone, he falls head over heels in love with her. He becomes determined to make her his wife. After tricking the innocent young maiden into coming with him to the Underworld, Hades enlists his friend Hecate, the goddess of witchcraft to help him win the girl's heart.

How exactly does the Goddess of Spring become the Queen of the Underworld?
