Abstract

This article firstly embarks on introducing the leading characters of the myth; such as the goddesses Demeter and PERSEPHONE, and the god of the underworld, HADES. Afterwards the main story of the myth, which is the kidnapping of PERSEPHONE by HADES, is told; while the other gods and secondary characters are mentioned. The story goes on to the point where the return of the goddess PERSEPHONE to the earth brings prosperity and FERTILITY back to it. So the article continues with analyzing the myth and comparing its symbolic elements with the changes of seasons and the cycle of the nature and human life. In the end, due to the setting of the myth, which is called ELEUSIS, the traditions and the rites of ELEUSIS are mentioned.
