En griego antiguo, Perséfone significa "La que lleva la muerte". Es la reina del inframundo y guardiana de los secretos muertos. Hija de Zeus y Deméter, la diosa de la primavera. Es una de las diosas más conocidas en la mitología griega. Su mito, cuenta como una inocente doncella es raptada por Hades, hermano de Zeus. Cuando Perséfone recolectaba flores en un campo en Enna, acompañada de las ninfas, diviso a lo lejos algunos narcisos. Camino hacia ellos y sin darse cuenta, perdió de vista a las ninfas. La tierra se abrió y del inframundo salió Hades, acarreado por un par de caballos negros. Rápidamente tomó a Pérsefone y la llevó con el al inframundo. Las ninfas fueron castigadas siendo convertidas en sirenas, por no haber intervenido. Al no poder encontrar a su hija, Deméter entro en depresión y descuido de los árboles y campos. Pronto, los humanos se quedarían sin alimento y morirían de hambre, así que Zeus decidió enviar a Hermes en busca de Pérsefone. Hermes consiguió negociar con Hades, quien le comento que solamente regresaría si no probaba ningún fruto del Tártaro. Perséfone no se pudo resistir a las provocaciones deHades y sin saber lo que le esperaba comió seis semillas de granada. Según lo griegos esta es la razón por la cual se crearon las estaciones del año. Cuando Perséfone estaba con su madre, las plantas florecían y los árboles daban frutos, mientras que cuando Perséfone se encontraba en el inframundo el clima era frío y no había frutos. A partir de entonces Perséfone fue considerada como la reina de los muertos, a quien se referían como "La Doncella" ya que no era seguro pronunciar su nombre en voz alta.
