Theia Mania

How Persephone would end up in the Underworld in my version was one thing that I always had a hard time to decide. It was tempting to let her go there by her own choice and not allude to the myths at all, but it also felt a bit wrong to erase the kidnapping completely. So I went for something in between. I wanted to let Hades do something he shouldn’t have done, and I wanted to give Demeter a good reason to later unleash her terrible powers on the world.
