Bernini, Apollo and Daphne, Marble,1622-1625

The short version…

The god Apollo slights Eros, the god of

love, who gets revenge by shooting arrows

at Apollo and a girl, Daphne. Apollo falls in

love while Daphne hates him. Daphne's

father, pressures her to get married and

bear him grandchildren but she refuses.

Finally, to escape Apollo she begs and

pleads for her father to save her, he

does…by turning her into a tree.

Bernini, The Rape of Persephone, Marble, 1621-1622

As the story goes….

Persephone had grown into a beautiful young woman, with

a smile for everyone. One day, while picking flowers in the fields, Hades,

her uncle, the god of the underworld, noticed her.

Hades was normally a gloomy fellow. But Persephone’s

beauty had dazzled him. He fell in love instantly. Quickly, before anyone

could interfere, he kidnapped Persephone and hurled his chariot down

into the darkest depths of the underworld, taking Persephone with him.

Locked in a room in the Hall of Hades, Persephone cried

and cried. She refused to speak to Hades. And she refused to eat.

Legend said if you ate anything in Hades, you could never leave. She did

not know if the legend was true, but she did not want to risk it in case

someone came to rescue her.

Nearly a week went by. Finally, unable to bear her hunger,

Persephone ate six pomegranate seeds. It seemed her fate was sealed.

She would have to live in the Underworld forever.

Meanwhile, back on earth, Zeus was worried about the

crops. The people would die if the crops failed. If that happened, who

would worship Zeus? He had to do something. Zeus did what he often

did. He sent Hermes, his youngest son, the messenger, to crack a deal,

this time with Hades.

Even as a baby, Hermes was great at making deals.

Everyone knew that. But this deal might be the challenge of his life. His

uncle Hades, king of the underworld, was really in love. This was no

passing fancy.

When Hermes heard that Persephone had eaten six

pomegranate seeds, he had to think quickly. The deal he made with

Hades was that if Persephone would marry Hades, she would live as

queen of the underworld for six months out of the year. However, each

spring, Persephone would return and live on earth for the other six

months of the year. Hades agreed. Zeus agreed. Persephone agreed.

And finally, Demeter agreed.

Each spring, Demeter makes sure all the flowers bloom in

welcome when her daughter, Queen of the Underworld, returns to her.

Each fall, when Persephone returns to Hades, Demeter cries, and lets all

the crops die until spring, when the cycle starts again.
