Persephone’s seasonal journey holds profound significance in Greek mythology, embodying the cycle of life and death as well as the renewal of nature. Her annual descent to the underworld, where she reigns with Hades as queen, signifies the onset of winter and the dormancy of the earth. Conversely, her return heralds spring and the rebirth of flora and fauna. This duality illustrates the interconnectedness of life cycles and the existential themes of loss and renewal integral to agricultural understanding.
