Demeter and Persephone

  • The ancient Greeks believed Demeter was the reason that fruits hung heavy on the trees, wheat grew in the fields, and vegetables ripened on the ground. 

  • Demeter had a daughter named Persephone, who was the joy of her life. As long as the two of them were together, it was summer year round.

  •  Hades stole Persephone and Demeter was so sad that no food would grow.

  • Zeus went and demanded Hades return Persephone.

Demeter and Persephone

  • Hades said she could not go if she ate any food in the underworld.

  • Persephone had eaten 6 pomegranate seeds. Zeus worked it out that she would spend 1 month with Hades for each seed.

  • The Greeks believed that during the 6 months that Demeter and Persephone are together the earth is warm and grows food - Spring and Summer.

  • During the months when she is with Hades the earth is cold and nothing grows - Fall and Winter.

Arachne the Weaver

  • Arachne was a wonderful weaver that bragged that she was better than Athena.

  • Athena heard of this and challenged Arachne to a weaving contest.

  • Arachne saw that she was not as good as Athena and said she would never weave again.
