______________
The daughter of the Earth Mother Demeter, the maiden Persephone was abducted by Hades, lord of the Underworld. He offered her a pomegranate which she ate. Having partaken in the fruit of the dead, she was now bound to him forever.
Persephone ruled over the underworld for three months of the year, although the remaining nine months she would spend in daylight with her mother. She could never speak of the mysteries she had learned in Hades. She thus became the guardian of the secrets of the dead.
