My loving mythology

    Since a child I was really really into mythology. I remember very well when I started to know about it, when I was in primary school as assignment I had to read a very short book called "Psique, la enamorada de in Dios" this book told the story of the most beautiful girl of the world who caused the anger and envy of aphrodita who gave her a cruel destiny which Psique had to deal and finaly she overcame and ended with Psique coupled with Eros the Aphrodita'son, but that is a another story, and that was the begining of my love for Greek mythology. this book also has lots of tip of Greek mythology.


    Retorning to the subject of this blog... I' m going t tell one of the most interesting myths of Greek mythology. There is a myth which talks about the agricultural changes, and says the following:

    One day when Hades, the king of the underworld, came to the earth with his brother, Zeus, and when they were in the meadow, Hades noticed that there was a beautiful girl dancing, Persephone, so inmediately he fell in love with her, then he decided to kidnaped her and took her to his kindom and marry him.

    At first time Persephone didn't want anything belong to Hades, neither to be the Queen of the underworld, but with the past of thime he fell in love too.

    Meanwhile at the up, Demeter, Persephone's mother and goodness of fertility, grain and agriculture, was looking everywhere for her. She didn't find her so she went to Zeus and he told her what happened.
Zeus told hades to give back Persephone, but he denied. Zeus, Demether and Hades discused during a while and decided to that Persephone had to be in the underworld with Hades during 6 months and at the earth 6 months with Demether.  Meanwhile Persephone was with Hades Demether didn't allow to grow up anything of the ground, but when Persephone retorned with her, everything reborn at the ground. That's the way the season were created....

    I chose this myths, because I like it, but I summarized it XD...yes I did.

   For me mythology is a beautiful form to tells how some things were created, and also mythology has other entertaining and catchy myths.
