Persephone Myth Matryoshka Dolls

Acrylic, wood

When Hades steals the beautiful Persephone, her mother Demeter goes into mourning, casting winter upon the earth. While in the Underworld Persephone eats six pomegranate seeds and from that day forward, for six months each year, she must withdraw to reign with Hades over the souls of the dead. During this time the world grows cold, crops die and animals starve.
