Persephone, 2019-20

Persephone. Beautiful daughter of Zeus and Demeter. The goddess of Rebirth and Spring. Worshipped as the queen of the Underworld. She was a double deity addressing both sides of her personality based on her everyday relationship with living and also the dead.
One day she was dancing and playing with her nymph companions in the Nysian meadow. She unfortunately picked a narcissus (some says it's the flower of Hades) and he abducted her to the deep underworld. Later he tricked her to taste one seed of a pomegranate down there and this obliged her to remain with him. After begging to Zeus, he agreed that she can stay above with her mother for the great part of the year. When she meets with Demeter she brings light and warmth and the earth rejoices in abundance. And later, when she's forced to go back to Hades, winter comes to the earth. She's the manifestation of the cycle of nature.
.
The symbolical meaning of her mythical personality is quite extraordinary for me. She's possessing an introverted temperament with issues of inner world control and concerned with the world of spirits and matters with other worlds.
One can always have potential for growth and change through their psyche.
