The Goddess Letters The Myth of Demeter and Persephone Retold
A Timeless Myth Made New Again The very human story of a mother and daughter separated by a gulf of worlds, but connected by a bond of words. Persephone, virgin goddess of flowers, has been kidnapped and raped by Hades, god of the underworld, and her mother's grief and rage know no bounds mortals would recognize. So begins a story told over thousands of years, but made fresh and new by Carol Orlock's very human story of a mother and daughter separated by a gulf of worlds, but connected by a bond of words. Persephone comes to womanhood not as the carefree soul of flowers, but as Hades' wife, and Queen of Hell. Forbidden to be together for part of every year, the goddesses employ Hermes, messenger of the gods, to help them exchange letters, and through these letters we come to know them as they learn to live with the unthinkable, and as they turn their eyes and hearts towards humankind, who hold the ultimate fate of the Greek pantheon in their power to believe or disbelieve.
