Скачать или смотреть The Abduction of Persephone | How a Mother’s Grief Created the Seasons

Before winter ever touched the earth, a scream split the ground open.

This is the story of Persephone, daughter of Demeter, stolen from a sunlit meadow and dragged into the Underworld by Hades. It is a myth of abduction, grief, famine, and compromise—where a mother’s sorrow was so powerful it reshaped the world itself.

As Demeter mourned, crops withered and humanity starved. As Persephone ate the seeds of the dead, fate was sealed. And from that ancient wound came the rhythm of the seasons: spring’s return, summer’s bloom, autumn’s decay, and winter’s silence.

Based on the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, this retelling explores Persephone not only as a victim—but as a queen who walks forever between life and death.

Because once the earth opens beneath you,
it never fully closes again.
