Hadestown. The Myth. The Musical.Â
Iâm not sure whether I should laugh or cry.
Is OP aware that oh so many books exist on this subject?
And that almost universally the ones authored by people with doctorates in classicism and mythology disagree with OP?
Including the⌠epic hymn that first told this story? You know whatâs in that original source material⌠right?
Abducted, yes. Demeter mourned? Definitely. Rape, no.
So hereâs some info on Ancient Greek wedding traditions which (oh my stars and garters!!) included abducting the bride. With the fatherâs permission, which Hades got before he took her away.
Hereâs a whole book on the subject of Ancient Greek wedding custom and its conflation with funeral rites. (Which sounds a bit like Hades and Persephone to anyone whoâs ever dabbled in things like explication and context)
Hereâs a link to another book that talks about Persephoneâs rise to power as a result of her willingly eating the pomegranate seeds.
Oh shit!!
Hereâs a whole bunch of myths and hymns that talk about her Queen of the Underworld badassery!!
Holy pug tacos Batman!!
Hereâs another book about the myth focusing on the seasonal religious and liminal rites. WHICH TAKE PLACE IN THE DRY SUMMER (not the fucking winter), which you know if you read a book.Way to go, OP!
All these fucking books! Â What could anyone possibly do with them all?!?!?!?! Do you eat books to absorb their powers instead of read them?
A better guess would be that you got into a moral panic over the name of a certain Renaissance statue and maybe after reading three pages of Edith Hamilton or the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article. And then used that to castigate and demean not only the people who actually take their limited time to create gorgeous art but also to denigrate modern day worshippers of Persephone and Hades?
Maybe next time, you stringy piece of over-boiled okra, you might want to take your own advice and pick up a book, instead of reducing the feared and respected Queen of the Underworld who held power equal to or in many interpretations GREATER than her husband into a meaningless pastiche of female disenfranchisement that you seemingly plucked from your own ass.
JESUS CHRIST THANK YOU
I donât often reblog posts of people getting owned, but when I doâŚ
man the ancient greeks didnât dare to speak persephoneâs name she was that powerful and venerated (they called her Kore, âthe maidenâ), hades didnât get that honour
Rebagel for those book links, I find the Persephone and Hades stuff on here fascinating and I want to research it more
Book links, owning and the sheer badassery that is Persephone.
reblog forever
Reblogging for the links until this misapprehension finally ceases.

Instructions for a walk in the woods
Never turn around to check behind you. Youâll see nothing, but once you start doing it you wonât be able to stop, and an ominous feeling will follow you until you donât lock your houseâs door behind you.Â
If you stand very still and listen you will hear the woods calling for you. Donât answer. Never answer.Â
Youâll hear things quietly following you, hidden in the trees by your sides. Itâs okay, theyâre just checking on you.Â
Donât be scared, but be really, really wary.
If you have a bad feeling about taking a certain path, donât. Youâll avoid whatever is waiting for you at the end of it.Â
You never know what may be buried under the soil youâre walking on. Remember that every time you take a step. Pray that whatever it is, it wonât wake up.Â
Be careful not to step on any beetle, or youâll never get rid of them.Â
If you bring a knife with you, name it. Otherwise the blade will turn against you as soon as you try to use it.Â
Make sure you remember the way back home. As soon as you get lost, youâre just another piece of fresh meat.
John Collier - La mort d'Albine (The Death of Albine) (1875)
@toholdmyown liked for a starter
   There is a s a d n e s s that travels throughout the walls of the palace-it is not the usual sadness of the dead that groan and REGRET their past actions in life-
  no it is melancholy, innocent sadness.
  It is a sadness that r a d i a t e s from the girl that stands before her.
    [The queen allows her gaze to travel far from the girl and towards the doors for a moment. She has half a mind to tell the woman to LEAVE-she does not remember inviting her into the throne room-but the inevitable sadness softens the queenâs heart and she turns to face the girl once more.]
  ~âWhat have you come here for, girl?â~
She bows her head in the presence of all gods but one, but The Lady of Spring has not pressed fevered lips to her mouth and ordered her never to prostrate herself before him again. And so she bows, eyes fixated upon the floor of marble entwined with gold, reflective enough so she might see a wisp of the goddess within it.
" I had not meant to, your grace." Her answer is quiet in volume, but- magnified by the throne room- feels far too loud. She hates how she can hear the grief in her voice, the mourning. Two years mean nothing to immortals with ichor in their veins, but they are an age for a girl forever nineteen, a girl freed from mortality those two years ago.
Two years is not enough to temper grief.
She has stood in the throne room before, not seated on the bima as the queen is now, but below. A position above the shades and deities, under only few. Kore seems far more natural in this environment than she ever has- gilded flowers on her head, posture comfortable and proud. Eurydice is unused to the diadem placed upon her head. It hangs heavy, even hidden in her chambers as it is.
" I wandered- I had not meant to come here. Forgive me, my queen. "
How can she address the queen she'd half-usurped? How can she address the woman who'd driven Haides into her arms and pulled her from them again?

  âI suppose I ought just be content with this strange display - accepting of this rarity. But inquisitiveness is in my nature.â No - not inquisitivenes.
 It was something more along the lines of suspicion. In his position, the only person he knew to trust was himself. The climate of the world was not one built on trustworthiness.
 Still, hers was a welcomed affection. The feel of her body against his something he had become all too fond of over time, but she neednât know that it might please him deeply that she would take initiative.
" You shouldn't ask questions. " She rephrases, voice is quiet in the fluorescent light and eyes veiled in long lashes. Even as she presses kisses to the fabric of his robes, she does not QUITE look at him. To gaze upon him makes this real, makes this truth.
" You shouldn't have to ask questions. Not with me, not of me. " The half-mortal reads Haides better than she dares to admit. He has had reason to bear suspicion in the past, but her contract is clear, revised and signed and sealed.
Lips seek his once more, one arm snaking itself around broad, godly shoulders. " And you're the only thing I've got. " Words are murmured and sealed with a kiss before he could respond.
fictional kiss things that end me
being unable to open their eyes for a few moments afterward
one small kiss, pulling away for an instant, then devouring each other
pressing their foreheads together while kissing
speaking normally, then after the kiss their voice is hoarse
guys furrowing their brow when kissing passionately
staring at the otherâs lips, trying not to kiss them, before giving in
running their thumb over the otherâs lips
when they lean forward a fraction as if to kiss the other person, then realize they shouldnât and pull back to stop themselves
ripping the other away -Â âno we shouldnâtâ - but when they kiss them again they moan and hold them close
one sliding their hand into the otherâs hair slowly
their entire body freezing for a second when their love kisses them
accidentally being forced inches apart from each other, staring at each otherâs lips, and just before they kiss someone pulls them back apart
when one stops the kiss to whisper âIâm sorry, are you sure you-â and they answer by kissing them more
a hoarse whisper âkiss meâ
then licks their lips and says âpleaseâ
Also:
following the kiss with a series of kisses up to suckle an earlobe
following the kiss with a series of kisses down the neck
lightly running the very tip of the tongue around the outline of the lips with darting touches before actually kissing
raking a hand through the hair and getting a good handful to pull the other person closer (before or during the kiss)
starting with a kiss meant to be gentle, ending up in devout passion
softly moaning into the kiss
smiling just before or during the kiss
kissing tears away
kissing at laughlines/crowâs feet/frownlines
kissing pouty lips
lightly running fingers up along the neck while kissing
bringing up the hands to cup the other personâs face while kissing
slowly letting their fingers twine together while kissing softly
a huge smile on face(s) when the kiss ends
a gentle âi love youâ whispered after a soft kiss, followed immediately by a stronger kiss
