00:00As Hermes, messenger of the gods, I've borne witness to countless tales spun across the
00:11tapestry of Olympus. With my winged sandals, I have traveled across the realms of the universe,
00:19carrying tidings that have altered fates. Among these tales, one that stands out in my mind is
00:25the story of Persephone and how a twist in her fate affects every mortal until eternity.
00:32You see, Demeter is the goddess of harvest, and she could turn the earth green with her touch.
00:38She made countless flowers bloom and coaxed bountiful crops from the soil. With her presiding
00:44over the planet, no living creature ever went hungry. She took great joy in her role, but her
00:52heart belonged entirely to her daughter Persephone, the Maiden of Spring.
00:57So, let's go.
01:04We'll see you next time.
01:07I've never seen anything like you.
01:31Are there more of you nearby?
01:33Little princess, I know of a field where the flowers bloom as far as the eye can see.
01:40I can take you there if you want.
01:42Really?
01:43That would be a sight to behold.
01:46Then come with me, sweet child.
02:03Enough, spirit of mischief.
02:18I have given you plenty of chances to change, but it seems all you want to be is a troublemaker.
02:24Did you think you could lure my daughter away and I would be unaware?
02:29Curse you, Demeter.
02:31Why should you and your child receive all praise and adoration when we, the spirits of nature, fade into the background?
02:39A heart that is as poisoned with envy as yours cannot be cured.
02:46You are banished forevermore from these woods.
02:52I'm sorry, Mother.
02:53I only wish to see the magical flowers.
02:54And you shall see many wonders, my child, but always within the safety of my reach.
02:59The world holds great beauty, but also grave danger.
03:03Come now.
03:04It's almost dawn.
03:05Let us go out into the meadows and make our own magical flowers bloom.
03:08That sounds perfect, Mother.
03:10Demeter always wanted to keep Persephone close to her.
03:17But as her daughter grew older, she turned into a beautiful young goddess who attracted the attention to her.
03:20The world is a beautiful goddess of my reach.
03:23The world holds great beauty, but also grave danger.
03:26Come now.
03:27It's almost dawn.
03:28Let us go out into the meadows and make our own magical flowers bloom.
03:31That sounds perfect, Mother.
03:32Demeter always wanted to keep Persephone close to her.
03:35But as her daughter grew older, she turned into a beautiful young goddess,
03:39who attracted the attention of many young suitors.
03:42Any time a god smitten by Persephone's beauty sought her hand in marriage,
03:47Demeter sternly turned them away.
03:50I cannot marry her off, Hecate.
03:53She is too delicate for the harsh world outside.
03:55These gods who come after her, they only see her beauty, not her gentle soul.
04:00They cannot care for her as I do.
04:03Demeter, you must be mindful of what Persephone wants too.
04:08Or she might grow to resent her cage.
04:11A cage?
04:12Is that what you would call it?
04:15She has everything here that she could possibly desire.
04:19She's a powerful goddess, and under my guidance, she can wield life from barren soil.
04:24Any god she marries will only dim her light.
04:27No, she will be here with me forever.
04:32Innocent and loved.
04:37I do not desire to leave your side, Mother.
04:39I will stay here, forever.
04:42But fate had different plans for Persephone.
04:45On a rare trip to Earth's surface, the lord of the underworld, Hades,
04:50was wandering through a grove of trees when his gaze fell upon a scene that held him transfixed.
04:57Oooooh!
05:08Oh, my God.
05:38Hades, my lord. You seem to be troubled. What weighs on your soul?
05:47As you well know, when my brothers and I overthrew our father, the kingdom was divided among us.
05:55Zeus received the sky, Poseidon the sea, and I the underworld.
06:02I've never complained about my lonely lot and do my duties justice.
06:08I don't frolic or play like the other gods and work hard in my solitude.
06:14But mortals and gods alike see me as the embodiment of darkness, and their tales paint me as a monster to be shunned.
06:24My realm is necessary, but it is hated by all. As am I. But do they not see that I also have a heart? That I am made of the same cosmos as they?
06:36Leave him. Yearn for the light sometimes.
06:42What has brought this on, my lord?
06:45Persephone. She is the light where there is none. She is life where all is death.
06:52Ever since I laid eyes on her, I can think of nothing else. But would she ever see past the darkness that cloaks me?
07:01Could she ever gaze upon me and see not a lord of despair, but a soul longing for companionship and warmth?
07:11Persephone. Persephone. Demita's daughter. Indeed, her radiance rivals the dawn. But she is of the upper world.
07:20Persephone. I must have her as my queen. As my wife. Her presence would bring joy and life to a realm that only echoes with loneliness and sorrow.
07:32And I must believe that even in the underworld, love can find a place to blossom.
07:38My lord, her mother would never allow it.
07:41Perhaps there is a rightful path to this union.
07:46I will go to her father, Zeus, with a proposal of marriage.
07:51I only need his permission according to our customs.
07:55Get my chariot ready and prepare for my departure.
07:58Today, either I win a queen for my empty halls, or I resign myself to an eternity of despair.
08:11The next day, when Persephone had wandered far from her companions in a field and was kneeling down to admire Narcissus,
08:21suddenly the earth beneath her shook.
08:23Ah!
08:24Ah!
08:24Ah!
08:25Ah!
08:27Ah!
08:28Ah!
08:28Ah!
08:28Ah!
08:28Ah!
08:29Ah!
08:29Ah!
08:29Ah!
08:30Ah!
08:31Ah!
08:32Ah!
08:33Ah!
08:34Ah!
08:35Ah!
08:36Ah!
08:37Ah!
08:38Ah!
08:39Ah!
08:40Ah!
08:41Ah!
08:41Ah!
08:41Fair Persephone, be not afraid.
08:51I am Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
08:54My kingdom is vast and rich, but it lacks the radiance of your presence.
08:59Ah!
08:59Ah!
09:00Unhand me!
09:02Come with me, and rule by my side in the shadows where eternity lies.
09:07Let me go.
09:08My mother will tear the world apart to find me, and there will be a chance.
09:11There will be no place dark enough to hide.
09:16And there will be no place dark enough to hide.
09:18Where is Persephone?
09:39Something has happened to her.
09:40I can feel it.
09:42Leave everything and search for her.
09:45Now!
09:45Demeter's grief upon discovering her daughter's disappearance was immense.
09:51And as she roamed the earth searching for Persephone, she had neglected her duties.
09:55And so, the crops and trees began to suffer.
10:01My daughter! My heart!
10:07In her desperation, she sought the counsel of her old friend, Hecate.
10:12Hecate, you who see into the shadows, help me find my daughter!
10:20You must seek Helios, Demeter.
10:23His all-seeing gaze pierces through deceit and darkness.
10:27Taking the advice to heart, Demeter ascended to the chariot of the sun, where Helios guided the day.
10:34Helios, please.
10:36You must tell me where my Persephone has gone.
10:40You see everything from your throne.
10:42Surely, you must know.
10:45I can't bear this pain any longer.
10:48Helios, the sun god, had indeed seen everything that fateful day.
10:53But had chosen not to interfere.
10:56However, he was moved by Demeter's grief.
11:00Demeter, your daughter has been taken by Hades to the underworld.
11:05He desires her as his queen.
11:07That...
11:09That cannot be my daughter?
11:14Queen of that cold, dead realm?
11:17I won't allow it!
11:19Perhaps it is not as dire as you fear.
11:21Persephone's grace could bring life even to the underworld.
11:25Also, he is one of the most powerful, wealthiest gods in the universe.
11:30And she would rule by his side.
11:32Is that so terrible?
11:34This is an outrage!
11:35How dare he take my daughter?
11:39Did Zeus know about this too?
11:43Zeus allowed it.
11:46In her fury, Demeter descended back to Earth.
11:51Return my daughter to me, or I will let the Earth perish in my sorrow.
11:57I will let this world turn into ice and ash.
12:01I will plunge it into eternal winter.
12:05Meanwhile, in the underworld, Persephone wept in despair and lashed out at Hades any time he tried to speak to her.
12:16To rule the underworld by your side?
12:18I want nothing to do with you.
12:21You've stolen me away from the sun!
12:23From my mother!
12:24I understand your anger, Persephone.
12:27I only hope, with time, you will see me and my world differently.
12:33Until then, I will respect your wishes.
12:42As enraged and heartbroken as Persephone was, she eventually got tired of her despair and ventured out of her chambers to observe Hades and her new home.
12:53In the kingdom of enemies was born in O Bob.
12:56In the kingdom of actuaries, even if you be able to eat and onto her comments,
14:49I built this for you, to remind you of the surface and to give you a place of peace.
14:59I... I've never seen something like this. It's... it's so beautiful.
15:05As are you, my queen.
15:09Each realm has its supreme ruler, Persephone.
15:26But here, you and I will rule together as equals.
15:31You will never be beneath me, but always near me.
15:35Meanwhile, on the surface, Demeter's grief and rage was a storm that screamed across the lands.
15:46Where she walked, the earth cracked.
15:49Rivers ceased their babble, and crops withered to dust under her shadow.
15:54As she withdrew her blessings from the world, famine began to spread far and wide.
16:01The cries of suffering mortals eventually reached the ears of Zeus on High Olympus,
16:05who could no longer ignore the matter.
16:08So, he convened a meeting of the gods.
16:11Demeter's wrath endangers all.
16:14We must find a solution that honors both her demands and the laws of gods.
16:23If my daughter wishes to leave the underworld, let her return to me,
16:28or I shall never again let the earth bear fruit.
16:32Very well, Demeter.
16:34Demeter, if Persephone wishes to return, she shall.
16:40If she chooses to stay with Hades, so be it.
16:47With a heavy heart, Demeter agreed, and Zeus commanded me, Hermes, to negotiate Persephone's return.
16:55So, I descended into the gloom of the underworld,
16:59where Hades sat upon his throne with Persephone by his side.
17:02Her face was as pale as the ghosts around her.
17:06Hermes, why does Olympus disrupt the quiet of my realm?
17:11Mighty Hades, Zeus commands you to release Persephone,
17:15lest the earth die with Demeter's heart.
17:20I cannot ignore the decree of Zeus or the pleading eyes of the one I love.
17:25But know this.
17:27The ties that bind us are not easily broken.
17:30What do you mean, Hades?
17:33Just then, Persephone looked down at something she was clutching in her hand,
17:37and I saw it was a pomegranate.
17:40Suddenly, the realization of what had happened happened on me.
17:44Fair Persephone, did you...
17:47Did you eat from that fruit?
17:50I couldn't help it.
17:51Six seeds, to be exact.
17:54Each of them has sealed her fate and has bound her to the underworld.
17:57I knew I had to think quickly and come up with a deal that Hades would accept.
18:03Otherwise, Demeter would let the earth starve forever.
18:06She only ate a small portion of the fruit.
18:09So, she should only stay with you for part of the year.
18:12She will spend two-thirds of the year with her mother on earth,
18:15and one-third with you in the underworld.
18:17Go now to your mother,
18:28but feel compassion kindly in your heart towards me,
18:32and do not feel sorrow upon your return.
18:34Persephone, for while you are here, you shall rule as my equal
18:38and have the greatest rights and honor among the gods,
18:42as well as my undying devotion.
18:46Persephone assured him she would return on the agreed time,
18:49and he arranged his chariot for her to depart.
18:52Demeter's joy knew no bounds when she was reunited with her daughter,
19:14but she was furious at the deal that had been struck.
19:18How could you possibly eat the fruit of the dead?
19:21It is common knowledge that eating anything in the underworld
19:24binds one to that realm.
19:26Why would you do that, Persephone?
19:31It was a moment of great weakness.
19:34I wish I could reverse it.
19:36I am so sorry, mother.
19:38Demeter had no choice but to accept the deal,
19:42and once her wrath subsided,
19:44the earth turned green and bountiful again.
19:47But when it was time for Persephone to return to the underworld,
19:52Demeter began to mourn once more,
19:54and winter would arrive,
19:56thus setting the cycle of the seasons.
19:59My daughter, my soul,
20:07your return brings life to this world.
20:12Mother, in the darkness,
20:14I've learned the secrets of the deep earth,
20:16and in your light, I bring forth life.
20:19Together, we bind the world in a cycle of death and rebirth.
20:24And so, in this tale of compromise,
20:28the dance of the seasons has found its rhythm.
20:32An enduring love story was also set into motion,
20:35for even eons later,
20:37Hades and Persephone are often mentioned
20:40as Greek mythology's most happily married couple.
20:43I can give you all the wealth of the earth,
20:47Persephone,
20:48but I cannot give you the sun and the breeze.
20:52I know you long for them when you are here.
20:55You have given me more than I ever expected to experience in my life, Hades.
21:00You have given me respect, power,
21:02and a love that is genuine and rare.
21:05With you, I feel the most like myself.
21:08With you, I feel free.
21:11So you do not regret your decision to eat the pomegranate seeds?
21:17Never, my love.
