In the last episode of Season 4: Winter Spirits, we explore the famous Greek myth of Persephone. What was her role inside the Underworld and why do we now have the changing of the seasons? We talk about the true ruler of the Underworld and how much of an impact her story has had on life itself.
Episode Highlights
Who is Kore or Persephone? Why is her myth so famous?
Hades and his underworld, what it looks like and who goes there
Persephone’s perspective on being a “damsel in distress” and the ruler of Hell
The Eleusinian Mysteries and Persephone’s ancient primordial roots
Her roots as a death goddess and the goddess of spring life
This episode explores the roots of a goddess whose courage and bravery gave her the strength to endure the toughest of circumstances. We’ll be back in a few weeks with season 5: Angels!
