Resource added
Divided into two halves: light, left, and dark, right; Persephone stands in the middle, narcissus in hand, flanked by red-cloaked Hades on her left, arm around her, and his immortal black horses to her right, separating Persephone from the bright meadow where she and her three fellow maidens frolicked picking flowers, and where now they cower in fear.
