Persephone's Return

By Lucy B Hoopes

A first-person account by the Grain Maiden of her early life; her kidnapping by Hades, Lord of the Underworld; and the rebellious young goddess's institution of the world's growing seasons. Although set in mythological Greece, this retelling of a "myth of Eternal Return" examines issues that include mother-daughter conflicts about maternal control, choice of a husband, and practical business vs. artistic creation. With the often exasperating guidance of Hecate the Crone, the goddesses grow in understanding the roles of the members of the Three-in-One Goddess: Persephone the Maiden, Demeter the Mother, and Hecate the Crone. This is, indeed, a tale for all seasons.
