	La Prensa - Opinion - Proserpina
		Proserpina es el nombre que los antiguos romanos dieron a Perséfone, la diosa griega que es la esposa de Hades (Plutón en la mitología romana), el temible dios del mundo de los muertos.
		Proserpina, hija de Ceres —diosa de la agricultura, cuyo equivalente en la mitología griega es Deméter— es irresistiblemente bella, tal como los antiguos imaginaban a la mayor parte de las diosas.
		Precisamente por eso es que Plutarco (120-47 antes de Cristo) identificó a Proserpina con la Primavera, aunque hay en la mitología romana una divinidad específica que la representa y de la cual seguramente escribiré en otra oportunidad.

		Proserpina was in Sicily, at the fountain of Aretusa near Mount Etna, when Pluto (Greek, Hades) came out from the underworld stricken with love from an arrow ordered by Venus, (Greek, Aphrodite) and abducted Proserpina in order to marry her and bring her to live in his Kingdom, the Underworld, of which she became Queen.
		Her mother Ceres, the Goddess of grain and of the Earth, was devasted and went looking for her daughter, but to no avail.
		So this is the reason for Spring and Summer: when Proserpina comes back to her mother, Ceres decorates the Earth with welcoming flowers and warms it with sunshine; but when Proserpina returns to her husband, Ceres brings the cold and bare Fall and Winter.

	Official Site Borghese Gallery Bernini - Pluto and Proserpina
		The large marble group of Pluto and Proserpina by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, shows Pluto, powerful god of the underworld, abducting Proserpina, daughter of Ceres.
		In this group Bernini develops the twisting pose reminiscent of Mannerism, combined with an impression of vital energy (in pushing against Pluto's face Proserpina's hand creases his skin and his fingers sink into the flesh of his victim).
		Seen from the left, the group shows Pluto taking a fast and powerful stride and grasping Proserpina, from the front he appears triumphantly bearing his trophy in his arms; from the right one sees Proserpina's tears as she prays to heaven, the wind blowing her hair, as the guardian of Hades, the three-headed dog, barks.

	The 2000 Norton Scholar's Prize Winner (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Milton weaves the Proserpina myth, as told by Ovid in his Metamorphoses, throughout Paradise Lost as a trope for rape and Eve's loss of virginity, and this culminates in a metaphorical construction of the Fall as a rape of Eve by Satan.
		This description closely parallels the Proserpina myth in Ovid's Metamorphoses, in which Dis ravishes Proserpina and carries her off to be his queen in the underworld.
		It is therefore not surprising that we next encounter Proserpina on the brink of the Fall, as Eve withdraws from Adam to garden on her own.
