The king of the gods - why not give him a thunderbolt to strike us down?

To the best of my recollection, it was in a book exploring the mother-daughter dynamic in that myth.

I have read a story seen from the viewpoint of a princess whose home Demeter visits during her search for her daughter, and the girl wishes her own mother cared that much about her. And no, <br />I can’t remember who wrote that, alas, it was in an anthology I read. 😉<br /><br />Hi Anita! Yes, I have often wondered how Hades felt, stuck with the kingdom of the dead instead of something cool and classy like the sea. No wonder he wanted a spring goddess to keep him company, even if he did go about it the wrong way.

She tells her mother a slightly different version, of course, so as not to anger her.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.com
