Persephone

She was the goddess of springtime and, after her abduction by Hades, she became the queen of the underworld for six months of each year.  The mint and pomegranate is sacred to her. Persephone raised Aphrodite's child Adonis.  She was also known as Kore, "the Maiden".  She symbolized the sprouting seeds of springtime.  Information taken from:   The Gods Gallery

Persephone was sensitive to the spirits of the dead hovering around their earthly homes. She realized they did not understand their own state. She asks if there was anyone in the netherworld to receive the newly dead. Demeter answers, It is I who has domain over the underworld. The underworld will fertilize the seed. I know of the realm of the dead, by my work is here. Demeter decided that she would go to them. Demeter told her of the gloom of the underworld, and hoped her daughter would reconsider. Persephone remained firm. The mother and daughter hugged. As Persephone left, Demeter vowed that for every day that Persephone remained in the underworld, she would mourn her absence. In her sorrow she withdrew her power from the earth, hence the months of winter and barrenness. From: Owl's Rest
