Hades & Persephone: Cosmic Love

Did you miss me? Did you miss me? Did you miss me?

Yay, I'm back and yay I finished this video at last!

Yeah, I wanted to do the whole song and I did have ideas for the rest of it, but my program was giving me hell and I couldn't be arsed to go through it.

Anyhow, for those of you who haven't taken the time to sit down and read a fucking book, here's what you missed on why we have winter, according to Greek Mythology.

STORY: Persephone, the Goddess of Spring, captures the interest of Hades, the God of Death and King of the Underworld. Overwhelmed by his love for her, he takes her from the Upperworld in order to maker her his Queen. It takes time for Persephone to adjust to this new environment, but in time she learns to love the Underworld and eventually falls in love with Hades as he did her. Meanwhile, Persephone's mother, Demeter, the Goddess of Harvest, searches the earth for her daughter, only to find from Zeus that Persephone is in the Underworld with Hades, thus bringing Demeter into mourning and bringing winter upon the earth. Hearing this news from Hermes, Hades comes up with a plan: if anyone eats anything from the Underworld, they are bound to it, so Hades persuades Persephone to eat some seeds from a pomegranate, therefore keeping her for four months of the year as his bride and the rest as Demeter's daugher.

And yes, I will be doing some more vidding soon, but probably not so much. I do have a life and career, after all, but I think the first line of this description will offer a hint of what I'll be vidding in the future.
