Demeter & Persephone- Myth Cluster with the Bruthers

Characters:

~ Demeter:
· Goddess of the Harvest; can control that growth of the corps/plants
· Symbolized by the cornucopia/stalk of wheat
· Persephone's mother
· Zeus' wife
· Zeus' and Hades' sister

~ Persephone:
· Goddess of Vegetation
· A.K.A Queen of the Underworld
· Symbolized by Pomegranates

~ Hades:
· Good of the Underworld
· Zeus' and Demeter's brother
· Persephone's uncle/husband
· Owns a three-headed dog named Ceberus

Settings:
~ Grassy grills in the Nysian Mountains
Main Plot:
~ Hades claims Persephone as his wife in result Demeter gets upset that she stopped the crops that the humans grew, leading to Zeus becoming upset because he does not get his offers from the humans. As Hades reforms Persephone back to Demeter he feeds her six pomegranates seeds meaning Persephone would have to go back to the Underworld half off the year.

Main Conflict:
~ Demeter gets upset due to she wants Persephone back from Hades therefore she stopped the crops from growing leading to many dead humans and Zeus not getting his offers.
This Myth Attempts to Explain:
~ How tell seasons came to be. For example, Autumn and winter are the times when Persephone is with Hades. Summer and spring are the time when Persephone is with Demeter.
