Persephone, also called Kore, is a Greek queen of the underworld, and goddess of springtime, flowers, blooming. She is the daughter of Demeter and Zeus.
The Sanctuary of Eleusis within the Sacred Plains of Demeter in Attika was a central location for the worship of Persephone and Demeter, and in the Telesterion people annually participated in the Eleusinian Mysteries, initiation practices into their cult. In Athens, a statue featuring Persephone and her mother stood watch over the road leading from the acropolis to the Sanctuary of Eleusis.[1]
Once upon a time Hades, the Greek god of the underworld, stole Persephone to his kingdom with the intent to marry her.[1]
