1. Persephone ate 4 pomegranate seeds while see was in the under world this means for 4 months every year she is stuck in the underworld.

“The myth tells of how every spring after that, Persephone returns to the village where Cerus joins her. She rides on his back as he runs across the land, and she brings all of the plants to bloom as they pass by.”

I think it is cool how they connected the story of Cerus and Persephone. They connected the friendship of the bull and the seasons together.

“When Hermes guides her out of the underworld and back to her mother, the earth begins to thaw. The earth experiences spring and summer while Persephone and Demeter are together. While she is with Hades, the earth feels Demeter’s lament during autumn and winter”

I think this was an interesting and creative way to describe the change of seasons.

While Persephone is more reasonable and compassionate than her fierce, but fair husband

I found this interesting because i typically hear Persephone as being much fiercer then hades, and many people in Ancient Greece feared persephone when they died

It’s interesting how Demeter caused destruction and chaos when looking for Persephone when usually she’s the opposite

I chose the quote “Herakles was commanded to fetch the Kretan Bull as one of his Twelve Labours. Upon completion of this task he set the creature free and it eventually found its way to the Athenian town of Marathon where it laid waste to the countryside,” because I thought it was very funny as Heracles literally just lets the bull go.

“At first Zeus does not see a need to seek out Hades and confront him about the abduction of Persephone, but when Demeter’s horrible sadness causes her to neglect her duties as a goddess, the earth begins to suffer. Crops die, animals become barren, and the land becomes cold and lifeless. Zeus appeals to Hades, but finds out that the problem is a lot more complicated than just asking for her release.” I like this quote because it is basically saying that Zeus wouldn’t have helped Demeter if the earth wasn’t dying.

The story of Persephone and Hades is an interesting way to describe the seasons and the reason behind them changing. In the myth, Persephone eats pomegranate seeds and for each she has eaten, she must spend that time in the Underworld.

Which actually isn't that surprising.

"Herakles was commanded to fetch the Kretan Bull as one of his Twelve Labours. Upon completion of this task he set the creature free and it eventually found its way to the Athenian town of Marathon where it laid waste to the countryside. There it was finally destroyed by the hero Theseus."

I thought that it was interesting how one figure from Greek myth, in this case, the bull that fathered the Minotaur, doesn't just disappear once its main purpose to the main story was served (the creation of a monster). The Cretan bull gets this whole backstory and end with its pursuit by two famous heroes, Hercules and Theseus, who on separate occasions had to confront it, making cameos in several different stories. Must have been pretty crazy times. It just goes to show what ingenious storytellers they had and why these stories have withstood the test of time.

I like that Persephone was depicted as curious and independent
