Robert Graves

“Core’s abduction by Hades forms part of the myth in which the Hellenic trinity of gods forcibly marry the pre-Hellenic Triple-goddess-Zeus, Hera, Zeus or Poseidon, Demeter; Hades, Core-as in Irish myth Brian, Iuchar, and Fucharaba marry the Triple-goddess Eire, Fodla, and Banba. It refers to male usurpation of the female agricultural mysteries in primitive times.”
