Persephone, Queen of the Underworld The story of Persephone, the sweet daughter of goddess Demeter who was kidnapped by Hades and later became the Queen of the Underworld, is known all over the world. It is actually the way of the ancient Greeks to explain the change of the seasons, the eternal cycle of the Nature's death and rebirth.
Well her in Greek her name appears as Persephone, in Ionic and epic forms of the language. Other versions appear as Persephoneia, Persephassa, Persephatta, Phereapha, Periphona, and Phersephassa. This suggests a possible Pre Greek perhaps Minoan origin. Some speculate the phoni aspect is relented to phonos the word for murder.
