Ecstasy of St. Theresa Cornaro Chapel. The short version… The god Apollo slights Eros, the god of love, who gets revenge by shooting arrows at Apollo and a girl, Daphne. Apollo falls in love while Daphne hates him. Daphne's father, pressures her to get married and bear him grandchildren but she refuses. Finally, to escape Apollo she begs and pleads for her father to save her, he does…by turning her into a tree. Bernini, Apollo and Daphne, Marble,1622-1625 As the story goes…. Persephone had grown into a beautiful young woman, with a smile for everyone. One day, while picking flowers in the fields, Hades, her uncle, the god of the underworld, noticed her. Hades was normally a gloomy fellow. But Persephone’s beauty had dazzled him. He fell in love instantly. Quickly, before anyone could interfere, he kidnapped Persephone and hurled his chariot down into the darkest depths of the underworld, taking Persephone with him. Locked in a room in the Hall of Hades, Persephone cried and cried. She refused to speak to Hades. And she refused to eat. Legend said if you ate anything in Hades, you could never leave. She did not know if the legend was true, but she did not want to risk it in case someone came to rescue her. Nearly a week went by. Finally, unable to bear her hunger, Persephone ate six pomegranate seeds. It seemed her fate was sealed. She would have to live in the Underworld forever. Meanwhile, back on earth, Zeus was worried about the crops. The people would die if the crops failed. If that happened, who would worship Zeus? He had to do something. Zeus did what he often did. He sent Hermes, his youngest son, the messenger, to crack a deal, this time with Hades. Even as a baby, Hermes was great at making deals. Everyone knew that. But this deal might be the challenge of his life. His uncle Hades, king of the underworld, was really in love. This was no passing fancy. When Hermes heard that Persephone had eaten six pomegranate seeds, he had to think quickly. The deal he made with Hades was that if Persephone would marry Hades, she would live as queen of the underworld for six months out of the year. However, each spring, Persephone would return and live on earth for the other six months of the year. Hades agreed. Zeus agreed. Persephone agreed. And finally, Demeter agreed. Each spring, Demeter makes sure all the flowers bloom in welcome when her daughter, Queen of the Underworld, returns to her. Each fall, when Persephone returns to Hades, Demeter cries, and lets all Bernini, The Rape of Persephone, Marble, 1621-1622 the crops die until spring, when the cycle starts again. http://greece.mrdonn.org/greekgods/demeter.html Bernini , David, Michelangelo , David Marble 1623 marble 1501-4 Giambologna Samson and Philistine Giovanni Bologna (Giambologna) (1529-1608).
