![]() ![]() Persephone only briefly appears, as part of a puzzle. Her actions would later foreshadow Kratos' own actions in taking revenge against the Gods. Her body then started to disintegrate releasing an incredible amount of energy, and Persephone, goddess of the Underworld, finally ceased to exist. In her last breath, she told Kratos that his suffering would never end. He then smashed her to death with the Gauntlet of Zeus. However, Helios, being held in Atlas's hand, radiated the ray of light which Kratos used to weaken the goddess. They battled atop the Pillar, where Persephone was aided by Atlas. With his blades, Kratos managed to follow Persephone by latching himself onto her. Transforming into a winged and armored form to combat the Spartan, Persephone flew up the Pillar of the World, which Atlas had already been in the process of destroying. Kratos gave up his chance to be with Calliope to regain his powers and weapons so that he might be able to stop Persephone. Kratos angrily tried to attack Persephone, but she merely blasted him away. ![]() She taunted Kratos over the fact that he could do nothing to save his daughter. She would be at peace and be free from her miserable existence. ![]() Persephone no longer wanted to live because of the fact that she married a man she did not love, lived a life she did not choose, and that she was betrayed by the very Gods who called her their own. Only then would he be granted passage into the Elysium Fields as well.Īs he finally reunited with his daughter, Kratos realized he had been tricked by Persephone when she revealed her plot to destroy the world. Persephone explained to Kratos that if he were to see his daughter, who fled to the Elysium Fields, he would need to prove himself worthy by giving up his power and weapons. While chasing his deceased daughter, Calliope, in the Underworld, Kratos, the gods' servant, was met by Persephone and demanded to see his daughter. This would be achieved by putting the Gods to sleep by Morpheus’ power and freeing Atlas, allowing him to capture Helios, the God of the Sun, and destroy the Pillar of the World which held the Earth and Olympus in place. She had become bitter from caring over the fallen as well as her forced marriage with Hades and allied herself with the Dream God Morpheus and the mighty Titan Atlas, in hopes of destroying the world along with herself. Persephone was the Queen of the Underworld and was the one responsible for orchestrating the events throughout the game. In the God of War Series God of War: Chains of Olympus Persephone and Hades never had an “affair” in Ancient Greek mythology. Indeed, the Elysian Mysteries (Persephone’s main cult) believed that Hades and Persephone had a faithful and a loving marriage with each other. Nonetheless, there was no notable bad-blood between Hades and Persephone In Ancient Greek mythology. However, this never occurred in Ancient Greek mythology. Some stories claim that Persephone never loved Hades, but a more popular story states that Persephone ended up falling for Hades and in one story, Proserpina (Persephone) turned the nymph Minthe into a plant out of jealousy and anger for the poor nymph that tried to seduce Pluto (Hades). Demeter searched everywhere for her daughter for nine days, until she was informed by Helios of what happened. Despite Helios's attempts to reassure the goddess that her daughter's marriage was honorable, the seasons changed because of Demeter’s depression, and mortals began to starve because their crops were dying. Cries from the mortals' hunger forced the gods who heard their anguish to confront Zeus and Demeter. With Demeter telling them she would not give life to the crops and vegetation unless her daughter was returned, Zeus asked Hades to return Persephone, sending Hermes to retrieve her. Before doing so, however, Hades either tricked/forced Persephone into eating three pomegranate seeds or Persephone ate them herself, which seasons are based on Demeter's mood during each time of the seasons. Demeter begins to mourn that her daughter is going to Hades which creates Autumn, she griefs which creates winter, she is happy to have her daughter back which creates spring and finally she enjoys her daughter on earth which creates summer. She was an innocent goddess who was abducted by Hades while she picked flowers in a field with Nymphs, at the behest of Zeus who advised and helped Hades kidnap Persephone. She was usually portrayed robed, carrying a sheaf of grain and smiling with the " archaic smile" of the Kore of Antenor. She was the daughter of both Zeus and Demeter, and quite favored by her mother. In Greek mythology, Persephone (Περσεφόνη), was the goddess of spring and was also the Queen of the Underworld. ![]()
