Description Time to go back to mommy. I have to admit that I'm not completely sure exactly where Demeter and Persephone live. I use to imagine that they have several identical houses at different places that they move between. One pretty close to Eleusis, one on Sicily (the two places that first comes to my mind when I think about Demeter and Persephone) and... a few other places.

The hands and other body parts made of clay that Persephone mentions in the third panel are of course votive offerings. They still hang up similar things in Greek churches today.

That "not too often" could be me, haha xD.
Lovely page, as always! I really enjoy your drawing style and interpretations of the ancient greek gods. Plus, I like this scene between Artemis and Persephone. (:

Thank you!
I'm very pleased with the relationship between Persephone and her sisters Athena and Artemis. I knew from the beginning that there would be some kind of friendship between them, but I couldn't exactly see them as best friends since they are quite different from each other. Not to mention that Persephone is not the most friendly, extroverted lady around.

You're welcome .
I can only agree about that with you! You've created a great and logical relationship between them.

'We're ALL freaks up here.'

XD Parodying the phrase 'we all float down here.'

As an earth goddess Persephone doesn't quite feel at home on Olympus.

I remember seeing those offerings in a Nofret comic once.

Nofret! It was probably there I saw them for the first time. I really loved that comic and was so disappointed when stopped publishing it in Swedish after the sixth book. But luckily I could read the rest of it in Danish.

She looks really pretty in the second panel. And her expression on the tird one is priceless!
And I'm happy, too, that she found friends

Thank you!
Yeah, to have Athena and Artemis as friends is never wrong. I think.

Glad to see that Persephone did make some new friends, and bonded with her cousins a bit. Rhea was probably happy to spend some time with her granddaughter too.

Athena and Artemis are her half-sisters not her cousins, but it is indeed a good thing that she befriended them.
