okay? No. You think you know. But you don't know. Here's the Virgin. You probably know we've got a meter and we've got purse F une goddesses of spring and the harvest and stuff and 2 m is super over protective. She won't let perception he go anywhere alone. No boyfriends, no social life. And then we've got Haiti's Lord of the Dead peeking up from the underworld. And he sees per Sefa knee up their pick and flowers all on her lonesome. And he's knowing that he's not going to get anywhere with demeanor. So he goes behind her back to for SEF unease. Dad, Zeus, who we all know is a total man *****. And he gets permission from him and he creeps up on Perception E. And he, like, causes this flower to sprout that tempts air away from where her mom can hear and stuff. And then he just rides up out of the ground, grabs her and takes her away to the underworld and dim eater is ******. She's not gonna let anything grow. She's gonna let all the humans die out, and then all of the gods are gonna die out because they can't live without the worship of the humans, so they start desperately trying to get purse Effendy back. But here's the thing. By the time they get to her, she doesn't really want to go back because Haiti's has been like throwing all of his riches at her, promising her equal power. Next. Him is the queen of the underworld. She's getting kind of into it doesn't like hanging around her overprotective mom anymore. She wants to, you know, grow up, do our own thing. So when the gods come together, she's like, Oh, no, I ate the food of the dead so I can't leave with you Some sources air like Oh, well, Haiti's mater Eighth, Um, or she was so hungry she had no choice but to eat them. But those interpretations air gross. So why would you want to think that eso like Zeus is totally on the spot? He knows that demeanor is gonna figure out what the **** happened. He has point blank on a ****** off 2 m, a melancholy, totally m O per Sefa knee and Haiti's who was like not she mine. So they're arguing back and forth, and he's like, I don't wanna **** off Haiti's, but I don't want to **** off the meter. Can't **** off Haiti's but can't **** off the meter. What the **** do ideo? And so he does the whole thing with the seasons, like he lets purse Effendy stay with Haiti's half the year. And that's when the the cold parts happen, new parts of winter, parts of spring and then the other half of the year. She gets to come home and see your mom, which is, you know, the warm parts of the year, spring and summer in the early parts of fall. Right? That's that's how most people hear it. This this, this compromise that explains the cycle of life. But there are huge variances, like there are much, much older versions of the story where perception is way more powerful. Okay, it's believed by a lot of historians and pathologists that perception is actually older than Haiti's that she and her mom were the most revered important goddesses of the prehistoric Greek period. Back in the day, the female gods were the most powerful in the agricultural gods were the most important. That these two were like a double whammy. You did not want to mess with them. And in the oldest version of the story, Siri's chose toe walk into **** all on her own because she felt bad for the dead, wanted to help him feel better, like she turned around face God and walked backwards into ****. And the eventual marriage of the two in the myth that most people know might have been nesting credit compromise between the old gods and the new gods and that the the kidnapping, things like a very on the nose metaphor for how the the new religion sort of took over the old one. I mean, this newer version would also make sense is a sort of fable for moms and daughters in Greece back then, coping with the girls, being married off by their dads, with basically no say in it. So when you think about it, the myth of Persephone E is kind of like a feminist sandwich. She starts out super powerful, and in the middle versions of the stories, she's got no agency. She's kidnapped, she's forced to eat the pomegranates. And then later on, we got the most popular modern interpretation where she chose to rule the underworld like the total got badass queen that she is. So when you think about it, when the spring comes, that means the goddess of the dead has returned to rule the earth. That's pretty metal, right? Right.
