I've been reading about the ancient Greek myth of Demeter
As tomorrow according to orthodox Christianity is the celebration of St. Demeter.
In ancient times, there were the Eleusinian mysteries, a rite and initiation, performed yearly end of September to beginning of October.
A brief copy paste about the story
The Mysteries represented the myth of the abduction of Persephone from her mother Demeter by the king of the underworld Hades, in a cycle with three phases: the descent (loss), the search, and the ascent, with the main theme being the ascent (ἄνοδος) of Persephone and the reunion with her mother
I'm just looking at the naming....
The guy I was in love with (still am but nevermind) is actually called Adis (sounds exactly like Hades) and I returned back to my mother and today they're doing the celebrations in the nearby church about St. Demeter. It's fun, isn't it ?
