Mythology

This myth starts out with a young beautiful goddess named Persephone (Also known as Kore, meaning young maiden). So imagine, she's in a pretty meadow, minding her own business, picking some flowers with her nymph friends and her mother, Demeter, when she sees a narcissus. It?s this flower, that represents deathly stuff, lets just say it?s not a happy flower. But poor innocent Persephone picks it anyways. Then all of a sudden the ground starts to shake and opens- up. Hades rises, grabs her, and pulls her away to the Underworld in his chariot. Persephone screams, and Demeter, hears her. Demeter goes all crazy looking for Persephone.
