Persephone was usually depicted as a young goddess holding sheafs of grain and a flaming torch. Hades was depicted as a dark-bearded, regal god. He was depicted as either Aidoneus, enthroned in the underworld, holding a bird-tipped sceptre, or as Plouton, the giver of wealth, pouring fertility from a cornucopia.
A load of flowers. Flowers because she was the goddess of Spring.
Persephone is a Greek Goddess. She is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. In her maiden form she is known as Kore, a Goddess of the earth, harvest, and nature. She is married to the God of the Underworld and the dead, Hades. She is his Queen, and through him becomes the Goddess of the Underworld.
Whatever Persephone pleased to look like, she could.
Persephone's symbol in Greek Mythology is the pomegranate. It represents the fruit she consumed in the Underworld, which tied her to Hades and resulted in her spending part of the year in the underworld, leading to the changing seasons.
Hades' wife Persephone was tricked into marrying him. When she fell into a hole that led to the underworld, she remembered what her mother (Demeter, goddess of agriculture) had told her; never eat anything in the underworld. When Demeter couldn't find her daughter, she was crestfallen and depressed, searching for Persephone each day. Finally after a few months, Hades hated to see Persephone look so sad, so he offered her a deal; if she ate 3 - 4 pomegranate seeds, he would let her go. Forgetting what her mother told her, Persephone agreed to the deal. When Hades let Persephone out of the underworld, Demeter was rejoicing with glee until Persephone told her about the seeds. Demeter immediately changed from happiness to sadness, because since Persephone ate the 4 seeds, she would have to live as Hades' wife in the underworld for 4 months. This Greek tale explains why we have the season of winter. Hope this helped! ~Max
Persephone was the woman. You are thinking of 'Orpheus in the Underworld' one of the better known Greek myths and the subject of more than one opera. And Persephone is the queen of the underworld, Orpheus' wife was Eurydice (also known as Agriope)
Well, she is very pretty, which is why Hades wanted her to come to the underworld, (he thought her beauty would liven the underworld, also called Hades.) There is really no specific description of her, but she had long hair, and wore a flowing white toga. I had to dress up as her for a school project, and I included flowers in my hair, because she helps her mother Demeter with the crops.
Persephone was usually depicted as a young goddess holding sheafs of grain and a flaming torch. Sometimes she was shown in the company of her mother Demeter, and the hero Triptolemos, the teacher of agriculture. At other times she appears enthroned beside Hades.
Greek myth does not relate much of the youth of Persephone/Kore.
