Notes
“[Persephone] was filled with a sense of wonder, and she reached out with both hands to take hold of the pretty plaything. And the earth, full of roads leading every which way, opened up under her… . She cried with a piercing voice… . But not one of the immortal ones, or of human mortals, heard her. Not even the olive trees which bear their splendid harvest.”
— homeric hymn to demeter
