Hades abducts her, she eats some pomegranate seeds, and now she causes the seasons to change. Right? Wellllll… There's a lot more going on beneath the surface (sorry, had to) than you might think. This week, we’re digging into the real Persephone myth, from where it might have actually started to modern takes that give her way more agency. Did Persephone have any say in what happened to her? Did she even want to become Queen of the Underworld? Plus, we discuss ‘ritual obscenity’, which is A) a real thing, and B) absolutely fantastic.
