371 Abduction of Persephone Bronze Sculpture by Clodion

371 Abduction Of Persephone

This bronze statue by Clodion is handmade and cast in the traditional Lost Wax Casting Process insuring a quality bronze sculpture that may be passed down from generation to generation. The famous myth of the abduction of Persephone tells why we have Winter. Persephone, who is the daughter of Demeter and Zeus, was abducted by Hades, the God of the Underworld. Demeter, who is the goddess of crops, missed her daughter so much that she refused to let things grow until her daughter was returned. Persephone had eaten a pomegranate seed while in the underworld making it that she had to return there for 1/3 of the year as Hades wife. During that time, Demeter mourned for her daughter and nothing grew, hence our Winter season.
