The Story of Eleusis: A Lyrical Drama (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Story of Eleusis: A Lyrical Drama
Of holy Demeter, giver of grain, is the story; and of her daughter, the maiden Persephone whom Hades bore away to be his Queen among the dead. As she was gathering flowers in a meadow he seized her and Demeter knew it not. A long time she searched, withholding her gifts from mortals; but at length Helios, who seeth all things, told her how Hades, with the consent of Zeus, had borne away the maiden to rule beside him in his dark hall.
