"Persephone is one of the most important goddesses in ancient Greco-Roman mythology. Her story is a timeless tale that has been retold many times over. It’s about love, it’s about death, and it’s also about what happens when we are out of balance with who we really are. I guess that’s some of her allure; we all want to tackle that shadow side without losing our intrinsic goodness....
...Persephone is important in the Greek pantheon stems from the myth that her presence on earth makes flowers bloom. Whenever she was on earth, the days were warmer, and farmers had a bountiful harvest. This power of hers is in perfect harmony with the notion of her being the personification of vegetation."(worldhistoryedu.com)
