Demeter's Winter

Description

This is an entry for the Myths in Winter Contest (myths-and-
legends.deviantart.com/journal/Contest-13-Myths-in-Winter-1-week-left-419528425) by the
Myths and Legends Group

So the myth is that the Greek God of the underworld, Hades, kidnapped Persephone to be
his wife. Zeus ordered Hades to return her to Demeter, the goddess of the Earth and her
mother. However, Hades tricked Persephone into eating the food of the dead, so Zeus
decreed that Persephone would spend six months with Demeter and six months with Hades.
During the time her daughter was with Hades, Demeter became depressed and caused winter.

So in this I have shown Demeter who is in the foreground weeping for her daughter who is
being taken away by Hades to the underworld, depicted in the background. I have used the
following for bonus points:

1. Snow
2. Something that glows (The fire from the underworld)
3. Includes the colors red, white, and green
4. Has something transparent (icicles)
5. Contains a romantic couple (theres Percephone and Hades in the background. They are
not exactly romantic here, but hey, they were husband and wife :))
