Description

"Demeter's darkest moment came when Hades carried off her daughter Persephone while she was gathering flowers and took her to the Underworld; for then Demeter went about seeking her all over the earth with torches by night and day. Helius comforted her saying that Hades, brother of Zeus, was not an unfitting husband, but this was a poor consolation for Demeter, who therafter avoided Olympus and the gathering of the gods, an changing her form, came instead to the towns and fields of men. Demeter in anger cause famine to mankind until she would get her daughter again In order to solve this dilemma, Zeus sent Hermes to the Underworld to fetch Persephone back. Hades obeyed Zeus' request, but before Persephone left, he gave her a pomegranate seed to eat so that she would be bound to his realm. Zeus then sent Rhea to reason with Demeter, and it was agreed that Persephone would stay one third of the year in the Underworld and the two thirds with the OLYMPIANS. Demeter then allowed the grain to grow again, and the famine was averted. Thank

Gorgeous scene and love the Greek myth. Lovely soft lighting in this, and she's very Greecian looking. My Aunt Athena, who is 100 percent Greek, looked very much like that in her younger days. Beautiful work.:o) CC
