 * __ Persephone Goddess Of The Underworld __**



Persephone was born Kore (Cora which means young madien). Her parents where Demeter (goddess of bountiful harvest) and Zeus (the mighty king of the olympians). She had two sisters the greek goddesses Athena and Aphrodite. As Persephone grew up she began to change and began to get a more womenly shape. Hades (the brother of Zeus and God of the Underworld) began to get attracted to Persephone. Hades asked his brother for Persephone's hand in marrige. Zues betrayed there family and gave Hades the ok to marry his daughter. While Persephone was on the garden Hades snatched her away and took her to his underworld kingdom where she became his queen. Her mother was soon to find out that Persephone was gone and had been kidnapped by Hades and said that she would not tend to her duties until her daughter returned home. Zeus soon gave in and sent the god Hermes to bring Persephone back home. As she planned to return to her mother she started to feel different emotions she missed her mother but she also liked being a goddess and had grown fond of her husband Hades. When it was time for her to go Hdaes gave her a pomegranted and she ate seven seeds from it. The Hermes made a discion that Persephone could be with Hades four months out of the year and that was all winter. The other months she had to go home with her mother and father. While in the underworld with her husband her mother Demeter made winter the worst time of the year. But when Persephone returned home she brung spring to life. Thats how the seasons were created so they say. Persephone always went back to the underworld without permission before winter to fufill her duties as the Goddess of the Underworld. Persephone needed a sleep positon to help with her apperence. Persephone was a good person she helped Heracles (Hercules) by letting him use Cerberus the three headed dog that guarded the entrance of the Underworld. Just to complete the Twelve Labors he'd been assigned to make retribution for the death of his wife. She gave Odysseus (Ulysses) a legendary tour of the souls of women of great renown. Persephone also has powers she has super strenght and can lift anything with out a problem, resistance to injury, cross demintions, cure the sick, create electrical charges, make things grow, and in ancient time her name invoked curses to send ghost to earth. In my opinion Persephone is the best mythical person ever made beacuse not only was she smart she was strong and has power and if i was to die and had a choice to come back as anything i would come back as her.
