GRAPHIC UNIVERSE DEMETER & PERSEPHONE SPRING HELD HOSTAGE HC (C: 0-1-2)
by Justin & Ron Fontes & Steve Kurth Demeter rules over a perpetual summer on earth, where crops, trees, and flowers grow in abundance. Persephone, young and beautiful, unknowingly attracts the attention of the lonely god of the Underworld, Hades. Hades kidnaps Persephone, and a frantic Demeter searches in vain for her daughter. Finally, Demeter retreats to her temple in mounrning. The goddess' sorrow causes the crops to die and the ground to freeze. As people begin to starve, the other Olympian gods and goddesses try to convince Demeter to accept a marriage between Persephone and Hades. Finally a compromise is struck: Persephone will stay with Hades for half a year (winter). When she comes back from the Underworld to spend half a year with her mother, spring returns to the earth.
