Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Demeter's Daughter Yet her joy is for ever shadowed by sadness, since without darkness there can be no light, and without death no living. She is a mother and has suffered the agony of loss. Still she flings off the blue hood of the sky and tears her veil of cloud still dry eyed, raving, she cries out against the Earth-shaker, at once her brother and the father of her precious one; still she hears Persephone's despairing cry in the voices of fearful birds and unhappy children; still she comes distraught amongst men to utter her wrongs and revenge herself upon the whole earth. Her name is gift, and, mourn as she may, out of her mighty heart's love she can still succour the children of men, still take them, as Demophoon of old, to her deep bosom and seek to render them im mortal in the red heart of altar fires. But few mothers can face that awful way of immortality for their babes; few men can read the truth of Demeter's counter-strokes against the relentless Zeus: in shut ting the watersprings, in holding up the curtains of the rain; in starving the seed corn under the furrow, in suffering the coulter vainly to tear an iron and a barren earth. One may, however, read the reconciliations of the Homeric hymn as prologue to these things to be told as a prelude of celestial music breaking forth upon a theatre where earth people, precious to the goddess, move and breathe and have their beginning, being, end; where on these dawn-facing hills of Holne Demeter leads the desert above to join hands with the tilth below, so that cultivated earth and high, waste places come congruently together and meet in peace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classical Greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone as told in Homer's Hymn to Demeter has been used most often to explain the cycle of the seasons. However, a closer examination will reveal insights on living and dying, loss and reconciliation, and suffering and healing. This work demostrates the continued importance and relevance of the myth of Demeter and Persephone to today's society. The first three chapters provide a summary of the Homeric story and examine the myth from the perspectives of the mother and daughter. The following chapters discuss the symbolism of critical objects, the role of female mentoring, the role of Hades and the meaning of the underworld, the subject of rape, and the masculinist perspective presented by Zeus and Helios, and derive lessons useful for healing and knowledge. The Hymn to Demeter as translated by Helene Foley is included as an appendix in order to provide a basis for the discussion in the text. Notes and a bibliography also follow the text.

Download or read book Demeter's Daughter: Book 3 of written by Beth Mitchum and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demeter's Daughter is the third book in a contemporary series by Beth Mitchum. Each book is dedicated to a different Goddess. Although the Goddesses represented here are all ancient Greek Goddesses, there is no connection between the books and the land of Greece, except in a metaphorical sense. The books are dedicated to the spiritual energy these Goddesses can bring to our lives by helping us to become all that we are meant to be. Set in the late 1990's on the cusp of the internet revolution, the series begins with Artemisian Artist, where we meet four women who become connected to each other in sometimes unexpected ways. In the first book, we see their lives through the eyes of Liz Higgins, an artist who is just beginning to find success in her work. In the second book, Gaia's Guardian, we follow the thread from the perspective of Gerry Pearcy, a Lakeland police officer. In this third book, we follow the narrative from the perspective of Melissa Higgins, a student at the University of Central Florida and Liz's younger sister. While attending college, Melissa deals with strong maternal urges and a sometimes confusing love life. Melissa's life takes a puzzling metaphysical turn while she grapples with the sudden return of her mother, who vanished when Melissa was a toddler. The series reaches its exciting conclusion in Hestia's Healer, which is told by Dr. Terri Jackson, a healer in more ways than one, and the fourth character in this extraordinary quartet of friends. Each one of the books focuses on one of the women and is narrated by that character—Liz, Gerry, Melissa, and Terri. Together they weave a tapestry of women's empowerment through self-growth and strong relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This graphic novel tells the story of Demeter, the Greek goddess of the harvest, and her daughter, Persephone. Demeter rules over a perpetual summer on earth, where crops, trees, and flowers grow in abundance. Persephone, young and beautiful, unknowingly attracts the attention of the lonely god of the Underworld, Hades. Hades kidnaps Persephone, and a frantic Demeter searches in vain for her daughter. Finally, Demeter retreats to her temple in mourning. The goddess's sorrow causes the crops to die and the ground to freeze. The first winter falls over Greece. As people begin to starve, the other Olympian gods and goddesses try to convince Demeter to accept a marriage between Persephone and Hades. But Demeter will not give up her daughter forever to the Underworld. Finally a compromise is struck: Persephone will stay with Hades for half a year (winter). When she comes back from the Underworld to spend half a year with her mother, spring returns to earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Homeric Hymn to Demeter, composed in the late seventh or early sixth century B.C.E., is a key to understanding the psychological and religious world of ancient Greek women. The poem tells how Hades, lord of the underworld, abducted the goddess Persephone and how her grieving mother, Demeter, the goddess of grain, forced the gods to allow Persephone to return to her for part of each year. Helene Foley presents the Greek text and an annotated translation of this poem, together with selected essays that give the reader a rich understanding of the Hymn's structure and artistry, its role in the religious life of the ancient world, and its meaning for the modern world.

Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXII AARON CLEAVE displayed much interest in the approaching wedding of his son. Circumstances had conspired to wake dormant instincts in this man, and his life had opened upon new things and new attractions since his departure from the Moor and sojourn at a village. He had found work and was thatching corn-ricks, but he pursued his labours in desultory fashion, and the coming event in his family served as a excuse for idleness. Upon the whole, however, Alison marked a definite change in her husband since his advent at Holne. She rejoiced in it, and attributed it to the new environment, but not to the particular accident really responsible. He had grown nicer and more self-respecting in various directions. He developed a desire for money, and showed determination to make it. He reconsidered his clothes and his person. By taking thought he apparently reduced his age by ten years. He certainly became more energetic and cheerful. He helped his wife with greater industry, and grew less exacting and more sober. In this particular she had feared that Holne might prove too full of temptation; but, instead, the reverse, was manifest. While he patronized the " Church House" as of old, Aaron spent less money there. He became critical, too, and approved of Alison's efforts to make the new home comfortable. The quiet distinction she unconsciously sought did not please him, however. He held the home of Lavinia Hatch as the model to be copied. His ambition was for coloured pictures out of the journals, and these he collected where he was able for the decoration of his house. He bought garish glass and china also, and made many purchases at the shop of Mrs. Hatch. Alison rejoiced, and yet was mystified at her husband's transformation. "You be...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of the mother-and-daughter goddesses Demeter and Persephone has seized the imagination of people in every age, from ancient times to the present. Considered today by many to be the archetypal myth for women, it touches on timeless themes in every life, such as the male-female relationship, love between women, initiations into puberty and old age, the mother-daughter bond, death, and ecological renewal. Christine Downing has combined essays, prose, poetry, and even performance art with her own insightful commentary to shed new light on the myth's ancient meanings and to offer new insights in its implications for contemporary men and women.

Download or read book The Lost Girls written by Andrew D. Radford and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2007 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost Girls analyses a number of British writers between 1850 and 1930 for whom the myth of Demeter's loss and eventual recovery of her cherished daughter Kore-Persephone, swept off in violent and catastrophic captivity by Dis, God of the Dead, had both huge personal and aesthetic significance. This book, in addition to scrutinising canonical and less well-known texts by male authors such as Thomas Hardy, E. M. Forster, and D. H. Lawrence, also focuses on unjustly neglected women writers – Mary Webb and Mary Butts – who utilised occult tropes to relocate themselves culturally, and especially in Butts's case to recover and restore a forgotten legacy, the myth of matriarchal origins. These novelists are placed in relation not only to one another but also to Victorian archaeologists and especially to Jane Ellen Harrison (1850-1928), one of the first women to distinguish herself in the history of British Classical scholarship and whose anthropological approach to the study of early Greek art and religion both influenced – and became transformed by – the literature. Rather than offering a teleological argument that moves lock-step through the decades,The Lost Girls proposes chapters that detail specific engagements with Demeter-Persephone through which to register distinct literary-cultural shifts in uses of the myth and new insights into the work of particular writers.

This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Demeter and Persephone was all about a mom’s undying love for her daughter. This story also creates a “reason” for the change of seasons. Of course, in the ancient times, such a reason was acceptable due to the lack of scientific truths. Myths are powerful stories created out of the need to explain certain phenomena. Have a happy read!
