Queen of the Dead 053
According to the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, Persephone was picking roses, crocuses, violets, irises and hyacinths when she was abducted. However, what the ancient Greeks called hyacinth was probably not the same flower that we today call hyacinth. It has been suggested that it maybe was larkspur. I changed it to grape hyacinths. I skipped the crocuses because I wasn’t sure if they really bloom in late spring/early summer when my comic takes place (in my Swedish translation of the Hymn it says that Persephone was picking saffron, referring to the saffron crocus, I assume. But it blooms in autumn).
On the other hand, Persephone could probably grow any flower she wants even if it wasn’t the right season, so I don’t know why I put so much research into this… XD
