Persephone and Hades pinax 490-450 BCE
"He [Zeus] assented that her daughter, every time the season came round,
would spend a third portion of the year in the realms of dark mist underneath,
and the other two thirds in the company of her mother and the other immortals.
So he spoke, and the Goddess [Rhea] did not disobey the messages of Zeus.
Swiftly she darted off from the peaks of Olympus
and arrived at the Rarian Field..."
-Homeric Hymn to Demeter, lines 445-450
