demeter and persephone

Demeter and Persephone
The story of Demeter and Persephone is very similar to the story from the bible about Adam and Eve; therefore, you can compare and contrast the two stories. Also, it teaches how important to have strong self-discipline and to not to give in to temptation. When looking at this story it is good to break it into three parts like natural, social, and psychological.

Now on a natural level, one day there was a beautiful young goddess of the spring named Persephone who was kidnapped by Hades, the king or ruler of the underworld. Also Persephone had a mother, Demeter, the goddess of corn, who seemed unable to get over the fact that her daughter was kidnapped, From Hades point of view things could not be better. He has a wife now and he is not alone any more.

Now moving on to the next level of interpretation the social level get a little deeper inside the characters. From Demeter’s social level she is a good mother who likes growing corn to provide food and nourishment for her people. Persephone was a happy young and innocent little girl. Hades, however, is a mean taker-of-life and happiness just all around bad guy.

From a psychological view of this myth, Demeter is probably feeling pain from the loss of her daughter being kidnapped. And from Persephone’s point of view she was probably homesick and feeling hate towards Hades for kidnapping her and taking her to the under world.

To conclude this essay on Demeter and Persephone, read the story of Demeter and Persephone because it was cool and you could learn about history and other cultures.
