a-gnosis:Persephone must be the one of my characters that I draw the most. Well, I can’t help that she and Hades always puts me in a good mood.The passage above is from the Roman epic poem Pharsalia by Lucanus (Lucan) who lived between 39-65 CE. The one who speaks is a powerful witch who threatens the Underworld gods to reveal their secrets if they don’t revive a dead person for her. This is what she threatens Persephone with. This is the only translation I have read and I have to admit that I don’t quite understand everything, but this passage has been quite important in the development of my version of Persephone and it gave me the idea to the story Destroyer of Light that I’m currently drawing on.I have always been quite fond of “darker” interpretations of Persephone, where she has more in common with Hades rather than being his total opposite. And I thought it was fun and interesting to try to create a character who is a curvy fertility goddess who loves flowers, but who at the same time is a bit of a cynical and antisocial bitch. -- source link
