Required Post #4

      Hi guys, its Persephone again. You would find it unbelievable how little the amount of myths there are about me. It's offensive considering that I am pretty important if I say so myself, after all I am married to one of the most powerful gods and without me there wouldn't be seasons... Anyway, since I could only find two myths even mentioning me, this post is about the myth in which Hades asked my father Zeus if he could marry me. Truth be told, I had absolutely no interest in marrying Hades, not that I had any idea that he wanted to marry me. In fact, I did not wish to marry anyone and would have preferred to stay a maiden. My original name, Kore, even translated to "the maiden" in Greek. My mother, Demeter, also did not want me to find a suitor and wanted me to stay with her for eternity. My understanding of what happened in this myth was that Hades went to Mount Olympus to share with Zeus his interest in marrying me. My father agreed to let Hades marry me and take me to the Underworld with him. They formulated a plan to capture me so that Hades could take me back down to the Underworld with him. Like I previously stated, this myth takes place on Mount Olympus. I consider Olympus beautiful, as it should be with all of us gods and goddesses traveling through there frequently. While Zeus and Hades were talking, I assume that it was a pretty laid back conversation. I mean it's not like I was the most prized or favorited daughter of Zeus. This meant that Zeus had pretty much no problem giving me to his evil brother. Truth be told this is not the most complex of myths nor the most interesting, but after hours of trying to find any myths about me on this stupid internet thing, I had to give in to a pretty uninteresting and non descriptive myth. Sorry guys...
