Here is the second part of the photo shooting “Myths and Legends”. This time we present a mother that had to bear with the fact the her beautiful daughter had to live with Hades, the god of the Underworld, for six whole months. Demeter and Persephone had to live apart accepting their fate.
Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and harvest.
Persephone was gathering flowers in a meadow one day when a huge crack opened up in the earth and Hades emerged from the Underworld 
Demeter is often shown carrying a sheaf of grain. 
Hades was convinced to surrender Persephone for one half of every year markingthe start for spring and summer. Photo credit: Anna Simoroshka Kruglaia
