The Abduction Of PERSEPHONE And Why There Are Cycles In Seasons | Greek Mythology

The gods in ancient Greek mythology are fickle beings, often depicted NOT as benevolent gods devoid of wants of the flesh. On the contrary, they’re more like superpowered lordly humans with all the bad qualities of humanity. They pick a fight and betray each other over the smallest, pettiest things. They dole out punishment like candies on halloween, and lie and steal from each other all the time. Which brings us to our story today, Hades’ kidnapping of Persephone.

In some literature, Persephone was.. violated, not just kidnapped. But I respect the storytelling, everything else were kept faithful to the source material.
