This work was funded through an Australian Government Research Training Program Scholarship.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 See, for example, Ingelow’s Persephone, whose matured face now bears the shadow of Hades. Also, Shakespeare’s Proserpina, whose spring flowers have all fallen from Dis’s wagon.2 See, for example, Hardy’s Tess who gives birth to Sorrow after her encounter with the Hades figure Alec d’Urberville. Also – less straightforwardly – the experiences of the protagonist in Margaret Atwood’s “Surfacing.”3 See, for example, Claudian’s Proserpine, for whom the matrons of Elysium “place the wedding-veil upon her head to hide her troubled blushes” (ln 324–5). See also the separation of mother and married daughter in Greenwell’s “Demeter and Cora.”4 For an excellent analysis of female development in versions of the myth, see Blackford, who identifies this theme in works as diverse as E. T. A. Hoffmann’s Nutcracker and Mouse King, Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, J. M. Barrie’s Peter and Wendy, Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden, E. B. White’s Charlotte’s Web, J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight, and Neil Gaiman’s Coraline.5 From this perspective, the myth has been linked to the rites of the Haloa (Skov), the Thesmophoria (Prytz Johansen) and the Eleusinian Mysteries (Lincoln). See Suter (73–85) for a detailed examination of theories connecting the Persephone myth to various initiation/coming-of-age rites.6 The Underworld theme may have become connected to the theme of fertility through a conflation of these two realms beneath the earth: the realm in which seeds are planted and from which vegetation springs, and the realm where mortals go after death (Suter 141). The dread goddess can in this way be conflated and merged with the spring goddess. This explains how the sacred marriage to ensure fertility comes to be located paradoxically in the land of the dead.7 All line references to the Hymn are from Foley’s translation (Foley 2–27).8 The transformation of the divine order which occurs through the narrative of the Hymn takes place within the context of a shifting theological perspective. As Suter has argued (2002), tensions within the Hymn indicate that an earlier goddess-centered story of a hieros gamos is here being incorporated into the Olympian frame.9 See, for example, Claudian’s Rape of Proserpine.10 By later introducing these goddesses when she tells her own story, Persephone may be suggesting that she takes a different view of her situation from the narrator of the Hymn: rather than presenting herself as ready for marriage, she aligns herself with those divinities who have rejected i","PeriodicalId":45212,"journal":{"name":"WOMENS STUDIES-AN INTERDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134885231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
