Persephone

I mean there are many versions of the myth and in some of them Persephone herself choose to eat the pomegranate so that she could be free from her overbearing mother, what I mean is there is not one version of a myth :)

Yeah but that's just one version of it. The story from Iliad however just says Hades genuinely loved Pers and treated her with respect. It was his subordinates that whispered Pers to eat the pomegranate to bind her to the underworld. Hades regretted that because he never wanted to tie Persephone to the underworld.

The point is :this is another story but thanks for the info

by her own uncle too and her dad also found her attractive and wants her for himself

So we're debating over fiction now? I mean, it's not like Hades and Co ever existed to begin with

I mean, various Roman and Greek poems/ sources have indicated that she was taken against her will... but I’m not her so I won’t know, but there are of course romanticized versions of it I guess.

Wow I didn’t know about that. She must’ve been a beauty... but still, yikes.

i just thought it’ll be a fun fact thing since I saw someone writing about it in the comment section in reference to the pomegranate and hades... no hate fr, people who like the romantic version can stick to it tho

Like all these comments, over thousands of years there have been many versions including Greek, Roman, Egyptian, etc. of like stories of Persephone. These stories take in cultural and political aspects of the times. My favorite version is when she was kidnapped and Hades didn’t force himself on her. He tried to win her over, which he did. Anyway, I love that this story will hopefully have fans doing research on the ancient writings from history of all cultures. It’s so interesting you’ll lose yourself in it

oh yeah it’s literally so fun and fascinating reading stories like how zeus literally shows up as different animals whenever he finds someone he likes

And rapes them, generally
