[Opinions] Why I'm attracted to it ie why Persephone was more than that
When I think of Persephone (from the myth), I don't think "Queen of the Dead" despite the fact that it is technically so according to the story. I think of her as a sweet girl who was forced into a different world. The myth is a coming-of-age story as much as a story about why we have seasons - but then again, growing up and seasons are the same story if you look at in the certain way.

Excellent insight! I never really think of her as queen of the dead either, but I hadn't quite put that much thought into it.
