Genesis 1.5 - Persefone

[losthor1zon]

I appreciate his explanations. Though I already understood about how they personified forces of nature, it didn't occur to me to view it in that light, of seeing opposing forces at play. Now it seems obvious.

"Persphehone" doesn't mean anything, check your spelling.

Persephone is the goddess of spring. So by saying it "means" spring, it is still correct. You clearly did not understand the context of the statement. Pay attention, stop falling asleep in class.

either way she goes to hell for six months and then comes back dancing, smiling & throwing flowers around

[losthor1zon]

@jonsi317 Some might wonder if this myth isn't also a commentary by a clever Greek about how women felt about marriage. :-)

"perspehone means "spring" in Greek"

No it doesn't. Spring is άνοιξη (latin: anoixi) whereas perspehone is from Kore or Cora meaning girl or maiden, Greek; Περσεφόνη

[hairybear2704]

I don't think he means that persephone is the greek word for spring, he just transelate the meaning of the symbols/words.
