Persephone (Greek goddess, associated with agriculture)

Persephone is a Greek goddess associated with spring and the renewal of life, as well as the cycle of plants and agriculture. She is the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of harvest. According to myth, Persephone was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld, and became his queen. Her story symbolizes seasonal change: her time in the underworld corresponds to winter, when nature is dormant, and her return marks the arrival of spring and renewed growth. Thus, Persephone embodies themes of fertility, rebirth, and the cyclical nature of agricultural life.
