Proserpina, also known as Persephone in Greek mythology, was born to Ceres (Demeter in Greek), the goddess of agriculture, and Jupiter (Zeus), the king of the gods. Her birth symbolized the connection between life and nature, as her mother represented fertility and the harvest. Proserpina's story is closely tied to the changing seasons, particularly her abduction by Pluto (Hades), which led to Ceres's grief and the resulting seasonal cycles.
