Hades and Persephone, anyone who knows anything about mythology is familiar with the myth. Hades is the god of the underworld and Persephone, or Kore as her mother calls her, meaning "maiden" in Greek or "girl" as mentioned in the book, in the language of wizards, goddess of vegetation and queen of the underworld. Hades, being alone in the underworld, asks his brother, sky god, Zeus to help him find Persephone, with whom he fell in love. Zeus agrees to help Hades capture his daughter and gives his consent to the marriage. Well, in this enchanting retelling of the myth, Dazzling Brightness by Roberta Gellis, we learn of Hades, who feels alone in the underworld, asks his brother Zeus for a wife, in which Zeus suggests Kore, She is clearly not amused at the idea of ​​not never see the sun, so he sits and sulks. Hades suggests she eat, so she doesn't misunderstand him and think he was trying to starve her, but she tells him she won't be fooled by his spells. He knows that eating the food of the underworld condemns him to live there forever. Here is another example of how the text differs from the story, Hades clearly states that “I swear to you… nothing you eat will bind you to my kingdom” (DB 18). Persephone has mixed thoughts about it, Hades leaves the basket between them and states that she will sleep, because she has had a long day, and once "asleep" Persephone eats, as he listens to her eat the food she falls asleep happily, then the lights of the cave go out. The glow of the crystals dims as Hades sleeps and Persephone becomes frightened until she notices a faint glow above the cave. She then crawls through the opening and manages to leave the cave, thinking that it is night and that she has managed to get out she walks until she comes face to face with a large lizard-like dog, which tries to attack her. Hades notices that she is gone, then hears Persephone calling for him and he goes to save her. Nowhere in the myths have I seen that there are creatures like those roaming the underworld, so this is another twist that Gellis added to the tale.
