Abstract:
AbstractArguably, the most famous myth told about Persephone is her abduction and marriage to Hades. The story clearly articulates the strong connection between marriage and death, and this episode became significant in both literature and religious practice in the wider classical Greek world. Reference to the story of Persephone’s abduction came to be used as a shorthand for evoking this connection, particularly in myth. This paper discusses two particular ways in which Persephone’s narrative was used in marriage and death. I examine the pre-marriage offerings to Persephone at Lokroi Epizephy

The article examines the transformation of the myth of Demeter, Hades and Persephone in the novel series by the contemporary American author Scarlett St. Clair "Hades and Persephone". The novel series is a fantasy on an ancient theme, where the ancient Greek myth is modernized. The relevance of the study is due to the extreme popularity of Scarlett St. Clair’s books among ancient themes fantasy fans and the popularity of ancient themes fantasy itself, the uniqueness of processing ancient Greek myths, the lack of appropriate literary analysis of S.

Abstract:
The myth of Demeter and Persephone has acquired a stable place in contemporary literature. Three prominent examples of this reception are the poems “Hades’ Pitch,” “Pomegranate,” and “A Myth of Devotion” pertaining to Rita Dove’s Mother Love (1995) as well as Louise Glück’s The House on Marshland (1975) and Averno (2006). Considering Reception Studies and Vulnerability Studies as the main theoretical framework, this paper will pursue the dialogue between the ancient myth and these contemporary appropriations by exploring the reception of the ancient myth in these poems while focusing on Hades’

Abstract:
In recent years, mythological retellings have garnered increasing acclaim. One such example is Louise Glück’s book of poetry Averno (2006), in which she blends the myths of Narcissus and Persephone. In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, a narcissus serves as bait when Hades abducts Persephone. However, in Glück’s contemporary rewriting, Persephone seeks to escape her authoritarian mother by embracing Hades, whose perspective is given in “A Myth of Devotion,” but the ultimate outcome is that Persephone is controlled by both her mother and her husband.

Abstract:
Persephone, Abuser or Abused&#x0D; This article addresses the mystifying reinterpretations of sexual violence that we often encounter in the Nachleben of ancient mythology. In the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, Hades’ abduction of his niece Persephone is described with language reminiscent of sex slavery in the Iliad. The maiden continued to be represented as a victim of male and divine violence in Ancient and Early Modern retellings of the myth, but in Romantic and Decadent portrayals her innocence faded. The poppy, which is associated with Demeter in Ovid’s Fasti, now came to dominate representati

Abstract Hades In MYTH, the god of the Underworld, and brother of ZEUS and POSEIDON. The name Hades (“the unseen”) properly refers to the god and not his kingdom. Unlike the Judeo-Christian Satan, Hades is not evil; as king of the dead, he rules a domain in nature that complements the happier realm of his brother Zeus. Hades is, however, rather colorless. He has no MYTH, except for his abduction of PERSEPHONE. By Zeus’ decree, she lives with Hades as his queen for four months of every year.

Abstract:
The chapter serves as an interlude between two comparative chapters on wedding lamentation and wedding mockery. It presents an analysis of the myth of Demeter and Persephone, exploring the function of lamentation and mockery as responses to the marriage event in an epic tale that recounts the abduction-marriage of Persephone by Hades and Demeter’s search for her abducted daughter. The chapter argues that lamentation and mockery are common responses, by the disempowered, to the simultaneous destruction and creation of social bonds and forms of community that occur during marriage.

Abstract But it is not as simple as that. Already in Homer we can see a distinction between a simple prayer for someone’s harm and the curse proper. When, at the outset of the Iliad, Chryses prays to Apollo that the Danaans may pay the price for the distress they have caused him by taking his daughter, we cite this as a fine illustration of Greek prayer form, and we do not at all think of it as a curse. It stands in clear contrast to the two parental cursings recalled in book 9: the one where Phoenix’s father Amyntor invoked the Erinyes to see to it that Phoenix should never have a son, and hi
