this is such an unnecessary point, but I associate the myth of Persephone so much more so with the abduction, Demeter's loss & mourning, and the seasons, oh yeah, and pomegranates that I might call her the maiden-who was abducted--ate seeds--mother mourned--earth mourned--retured and the earth bloomed. OK your way is better than that :-) She was so reluctant in her role as wife to Hades that I resist identifying her that way. I had no idea I felt so strongly about a mythical figure LOL
I've always said it this way per-SEF-o-knee like Per-Stephanie if you take out the T. Is that how you say it? Wait, where do you go where you sit around and talk about the queen of the underworld anyway? I don't move in those circles anymore LOL
