The Wilted Flower

'A Tragedy of Lost Innocence, Abduction, Forced Marriage, and Power'

Persephone's story is often romanticized - told as a dark, forbidden love between two gods, a union of shadow and spring.
But this is not that story.

This is a different retelling - one where Persephone is not a willing bride, but a girl stolen from the sunlight. A daughter torn from her mother and forced into a world of stone and silence. This is a story of loss, of innocence taken, of power twisted into control. It is not a love story. It is a tragedy.

This version does not seek to shame or discredit other interpretations of the myth. Every retelling has its place and its truth. But if you are looking for romance or a happy ending, you will not find it here.
Only the echo of a wilted flower.
