Goddess of springtime, or queen of the underworld-life or death? Empowering, high-interest narrative text tells the dual story of Persephone from Greek mythology. These core legends show Persephone's double personality as she splits her duties between her mother and the god of the dead. Fascinating myths also uncover Persephone's past, detailing her birth and how she fits into the family of deities. Further explore Persephone's role in Greek culture through her signature powers, symbols, and attire. Additional facts and historical information connect the goddess's influence through popular culture today.
