Inspired by the legend of the Persephone, Casandra Goad’s Persephone bangles are exactly what your summer wardrobe needs.
As Homer tells it, Persephone, the daughter of Demeter and Zeus, was snatched by Hades and spirited from the field where she was gathering flowers away to the Underworld.
Her mother, the Goddess of the Harvest, was outraged and caused crops to die in her grief but Zeus finally forced Hades to return Persephone so that the mortals would stop starving – but not before Hades tricked her into eating the seeds of a pomegranate fruit, the fruit of the Underworld, obliging her to spend the winter months of every year with Hades.
