Anonim murmured, « describe how you would do a retelling of the abduction of Persephone myth? »

the stage would be covered with scarlet coquelicot petals. heavily, heavily stylised. there would be a scene where Hades offers Persephone the pomegranate and at first she’s completely unwilling but as she eats she becomes ravenous and tears it open with her teeth and devours it viciously, the juice dripping from her mouth

they would reside on two austere bronze thrones with the backs facing each other and sit there murmuring gibberish to themselves and occasionally breaking out in tears
Hades would be harrowed with guilt and insecure and fragile

Demeter would be terrifying and the relationship between them would blur maternal romantic and sexual lines to become a kind of mutual obsession and when they reunited they would physically merge and gold would flow everywhere and wheat would grow and their dialogue would merge until the two couldn’t be distinguished because of the intense force of female solidarity against rape and oppression and there would be several long scenes of barren earth and Demeter pallid and gaunt shrieking alone
