Description
Persephone's Fall by Tiago Lameiras is a retelling of an ancient myth, set in the remnants of Magna Graecia. According to legend, Persephone was abducted by Hades while painting flowers by a body of water, accompanied by the Oceanids and her sisters Artemis and Athena. The story takes place at Pergusa Lake, on the Sicilian island of present-day Italy, where an insurmountable fault in the lake's ground allowed Hades to take Persephone to the Underworld. Demeter searched for her daughter for nine days before Zeus intervened, ordering Hades to return Persephone to her mother. However, the Fates decreed that those who ingest pomegranate seeds in the Underworld would be bound there for one month per seed, resulting in a cycle of seasons. This myth has been retold and reinterpreted across Europe for centuries, with various accounts of its origins.
