This awesome art of Persephone & Hades from Greek Mythology is created by the very talented artist Soni Alcorn-Hender. 
This beautiful art will be a base card in our Classic Mythology II card set.
Greek Mythology – Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and the harvest-goddess Demeter. Persephone was the Queen of the Underworld in Greek Mythology. She was abducted by Hades, the god-king of the Underworld and made his consort and Queen of the Underworld. The myth of her abduction represents her function as the personification of vegetation (Kore) which shoots forth in Spring and withdraws into the earth after harvest. Her symbol is grain.
Greek Mythology – Hades (Aidoneus) was the ancient God of the Underworld in Greek Mythology. Hades is the oldest male child of Cronus and Rhea. According to myth, he and his brothers Zeus and Poseidon defeated the Titans and claimed rulership over the cosmos, ruling the underworld, air, and sea, respectively; the solid earth, long the province of Gaia, was available to all three concurrently. He received the Helm of Darkness (which could make him invisible) from three Cyclopes to help defeat the Titans. He also had three sisters, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera. Hades consort was Persephone and some of his symbols included Cerberus, Cap of invisibility or Helm of Darkness, Cypress, Narcissus and Key of Hades.
