Description

For those who know the mythical seasons, Ceres and Proserpina Sculpture is the plot. This marble sculpture depicts Ceres and Proserpine, the famous mother and daughter from Mount Olympus. Proserpine has grown into a beautiful young woman. She smiled at everyone. One day, while picking flowers in the field, Pluto, Pluto’s uncle, noticed her. Pluto is usually a gloomy person. But prosserpine’s beauty dazzled him. He fell in love instantly. Soon, before anyone could intervene, he kidnapped Proserpine and threw his chariot into the darkest depths of the underworld, taking Proserpine with him. Locked in a room in the underworld, Prosserpine cried and cried. She refuses to speak to Pluto. And she refused to eat. Legend has it that if you eat anything on Pluto, you’ll never leave. The story of Ceres and Proserpina Sculpture continues.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, Jupiter worries about crops. If the crops fail, people will die. He had to do something. Jupiter did what he always does. He sent his youngest son, the messenger Mercury, to make a pact with Pluto. When Mercury heard that Protherpine had eaten six pomegranate seeds, he had to think quickly. His deal with Pluto is that if Protherpina marries Pluto, she will live as the queen of the underworld for six months of the year. However, every spring, Proserpine returns to live on Earth for the other six months of the year. Hades agreed. Jupiter agrees. Proserpine agreed. Finally, Ceres agreed. Every spring, Ceres makes sure all the flowers bloom when her daughter, the Queen of the Underworld, returns to her side. Every fall, when Proserpine returns to Pluto, Ceres cries and lets all crops die until the cycle begins again in spring. That’s the story of Ceres and Proserpina Sculpture and seasons.
