Welcome to Litsy!

But Persephone did not care. A shadow fell across her face, and stayed there.

I like the focus on Persephone and Demeter's (daughter and mother) relationship in this story, instead of Hades.

Tells the Ancient Greek myth of Spring with Persephone and Demeter. The end of the book explains more of the history and culture involved with the story.

One of my favorite classic stories. This book did a great job portraying.

“And so for three months of each year Persephone must return to the Underworld. Hades welcomes back his queen, but when Persephone goes underground winter comes to Earth.“

This book is a retelling of the classic greek mythology story of persephone. It is a myth because it tells the story of the gods. It also tells why we have winter.

Persephone is a children's book retelling of the classic greek mythology story. Persephone is stolen by Hades to live in the underworld but her mom Demeter could not find Persephone and cast a curse on the Earth making it forever winter.
