Persephone and Cerberus

“When the earth blossoms with all manner of fragrant spring flowers, then from beneath the murky gloom shall you come again, a mighty marvel to gods and to mortal men.”

-Homeric Hymn to Demeter

A companion piece to the illustration of Hekate and Demeter I did a couple of months back.

damn girl, you'll make the prettiest flowers once your body rots into the earth

The coming of spring and summer. 🌼🌸🌿🏛

“Then bright-coiffed Hecate came near to them, and often did she embrace the daughter of holy Demeter: and from that time the lady Hecate was minister and companion to Persephone…” -Hymn 2 to Demeter, translated by Hugh G. Evelyn-White, Ed.

For the fans of the stories revolved around Demeter, the Greek goddess of harvesting agriculture (crops, grains, food and the Earth‘s fertility) and her spring daughter, Persephone out there, along with her accompanying goddess, Hekate of the crossroads, night, moonlight, ghosts and witchcraft; here are some illustrations that were inspired from the style of Greek colonies in Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, and other simpler pottery variants from mainland Greece and its islands.

Reblogging this because Happy Mother’s Day to all maternal goddesses, like Hera and Demeter!!!!
