They would become closer. The shared experience of expecting a child would strengthen their bond. Hades would be more protective of Persephone, and Persephone would rely on Hades more for emotional support.
Well, the original Persephone and Hades story is about a rather dramatic event. Persephone was innocently going about her day when Hades, the lord of the underworld, saw her and decided he wanted her for his own. He took her to his dark realm. Demeter, her mother, was beside herself with worry and sadness. This led to a huge upheaval as Demeter's power was linked to the fertility of the earth. After negotiations, it was found out that Persephone had eaten in the underworld. So, she was to split her time between the underworld and the world above. This not only affected the relationship between the gods but also became a symbolic explanation for the changing of the seasons in the mortal world.
Hades and Persephone's love story is quite fascinating. Hades, ruling the underworld, was smitten by the beautiful Persephone. He took her to his realm. Demeter, Persephone's mother, was so distraught that she caused a great famine on earth. Zeus had to step in. Hades allowed Persephone to return to earth for a part of the year. When Persephone is in the underworld, it is winter on earth because Demeter mourns. And when Persephone returns, spring and summer come as Demeter is happy again.
Sure is! Their story involves love, but it's complicated and involves forces beyond their control. Persephone's descent to the underworld and her eventual return are central to this love narrative.
Another theme is the duality of the underworld and the overworld. Fanfics often play with the idea of Persephone being a bridge between these two realms, and how her relationship with Hades affects both the light and dark aspects of the world.
In the original story, Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture. Hades, the god of the underworld, fell in love with her. One day, as Persephone was picking flowers in a meadow, Hades abducted her and took her to the underworld. Demeter was distraught and searched everywhere for her daughter. Because of her grief, the earth became barren. Eventually, Zeus intervened. It was decided that Persephone would spend part of the year in the underworld with Hades (which is why winter comes) and part of the year on earth with her mother (bringing spring and summer).
Sure. One popular 'Hades and Persephone' fanfic is 'A Touch of Darkness' by Scarlett St. Clair. It reimagines their relationship in a modern - day setting with a lot of romantic tension.
The setting of the underworld is a crucial element. It's a mysterious and often forbidding place. In Hades and Persephone romance novels, the underworld serves as a backdrop for their relationship to develop. It's not just a spooky place, but also a realm with its own rules and beauty. For instance, in some stories, the unique flora and fauna of the underworld become a part of their love story, like the flowers that Persephone might bring to life there.
