"Persephone - Queen of the Underworld" ~
A blank greeting card from the original painting by Emily Balivet, 2010. The card measures 5x7 and is printed on acid free, archival quality smooth, matte stock...Perfect for framing, too!
The card is sealed in a cello sleeve with an ivory envelope and will be shipped via First Class mail. I combine shipping on multiple purchases.
______________
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.
