The story of proserpine
Long long ago there was a beautiful island of Sicily with full of crops ,plant , and trees
There lived the goddess of crops called Seres .
Seres had a fair daughter ,Proserpine was the brightest and loveliest of all girl .Her cheeks were rosy like an apple ,eyes were as a sky and long golden curls were as bright as sunlight in springtime.
Seres loved her 666 “ Baby I love you so much , even more than my life. “
There lived dark Pluto , the king of the land Dead .Pluto was very lonely because no goddess was willing to live with her.
One day Pluto came to the earth and was driving along on his swift chariot.
On that day Proserpine laughing and playing with her companions.
How beautiful the girl is!!! I must make her my queen .Her bright face will make my dark kingdom look bright and beautiful .
Pluto forced Proserpine to go with him.
Pluto carried her to his chariot and drove very fast. Proserpine seized her girdle and threw it.
Pluto reached into the underworld with proserpine .
“I can not find my sweet daughter .can anyone tell me where she go ? “
The earth became dry and barren. Famine broke out all over the world. There was no trust of plant.
The people pray for Ceres , the king of crops to save their life. “I can not take care of the earth until I got back my lost daughter .”
Hey dear Jupiter the goddess of king please bring Proserpine back to her mother .
“ cares ,great mother of the earth,I am the nymph of the fountain. I live in the dark depth of the earth .And I have seen your daughter on the throne in the kingdom of pluto.Go to Jupiter and pray to him to send her back to you .
“Dear Jupiter ,I have found the place where my daughter is. Please give her back to me and I shall once more make the earth as fruitful and green as it was.”
“Proserpine may return to earth if she has not tasted any food in Pluto’s kingdom.”
But alas!!That day proserpine had eaten six pomegranate seeds ,and for every one of those seeds she was destined each year to spend a month in the realm of the dead.
From this event Proserpine had to spend six months with Pluto in the dead kingdom.
As Proserpine is underground kingdom ,the earth is cover with snow .The trees would shed their lives .The flower ,too would hide underground.
Proserpine had spend six month with her mother
The earth smiled to welcome the young queen .the flower bloomed ,birds sang .
