We know you've been waiting. We know you've been longing. We know you've been patient. Finally, a page on Persephone.
In case you hadn't noticed, she's a key emblematic figure here. Remember - Simon commemorated the death of his child bride with a masque of Persephone. And now she figures prominently in Sooner than Never. Look alive, folks! It's symbolism!
But frankly, we're too tired and over-worked to rehash the whole Persephone myth, so we're going to let our mouse do the walking on the Internet to provide that info.
