Love Underground Persephone Tale The Goddesses #1 The Goddessess Persephone Tale Alicia Fields 9780451215826 Books Reviews

Ms. Fields has done a good job on re-telling her tale of the Greek myth Persephone. Basing a romance on a myth doesn't change the story but Ms. Field has brough human qualities to both Hades and Persephone thus making them seem more real to the reader.

Persephone, daughter of Demeter is the most beautiful girl in the villiage. Upon attending a funeral, Hades spies the her and wants her for his own. Some days later while picking flowers with her friend Persephone is taken down to Hades realm where he attempts to woe the lady who will have nothing that he has to offer. During a course of time Persephone begins to "know" Hades and the things that he knows and realizes that he not much different than she is. But could she give her heart to the man that she has learned to know?

Again, this is not a new story. What is new is Ms. Fields entertaining prose, and the way she has developed unique qualities in these two famous characters. Overall this is not a strong romance so much as it's a different take on an already established myth. Don't pick this read up expecting something new as Ms. Field has stayed true to her inspiration.

In Hellas, Persephone is the prettiest maiden in the land, but though she has female friends like Echo and Narcissa, boys her age have nothing to do with her except the bodacious Hermes. Males fear her mother Demeter who has god-like powers and her great-grandfather High Priest Aristippus who communicates directly with Zeus. Persephone lives like a bird in a gilded cage as Demeter keeps her safe and apart from the other gender with an iron fist that only she and Aristippus can use.

That is until the Lord of the Underground, Hades, sees her and desires her. He comes up from under the ground in her garden to abduct Persephone. In his dark realm he offers his "soul" to her, but she rejects him. Frustrated, but not a quitter, the obstinate intelligent Hades courts his prisoner showing her what no male dared, a wondrous world even if it is home to the dead. Feeling alive for the first time Persephone begins to see passion for the first time with her underworld warden even as her mother searches heaven and earth for her.

Amanda Cockrell provides a fantastic retelling of one of the great Greek mythological tales, the story of Persephone. The heroine, her wannabe lover and her determined mother come together in a delightful romance even with the underground as the setting. Fans of modern day renditions of the ancient mythos will treasure Ms. Cockrell's entertaining novel of LOVE UNDERGROUND.

Harriet Klausner
This book was EXCELLENT as far as retelling the myth of Persephone, because it made all the characters seem more real, especially, for example, by protraying Demeter as having special godlike powers, but not definitely saying whether she was a god or not. The same goes for Hermes, who says his father is Zeus, but he doesn't have any special powers in this book. The author did I really good job in portraying the ancient city of Hellas, and the people's belief in their gods, and also the people's lifestyles and characters. The book made for a very interesting read.

However, I found the book somewhat lacking as a romance--I expected the romance factor to be a major part of the book, but it just didn't really feel like it was. If you're really into Greek mythology, and go into this book looking for a nice retelling of the myth, you will be very much satisfied-- but you might be disappointed if you are just looking for a romance novel.

I think the book description on the back of the book is a little deceiving, because it makes the reader think this is predominantly a romance "Then Persephone meets the dark, mysterious lord of the underworld--and discovers a passion of mythic dimensions...Courting Persephone as no man has ever dared, he brings her to the wondrously startling revelation that bad boys can be fun..."
Alecia Feilds has written a good story, it tells of two people who have been alone for virtually all their lives. First there's Persephone a young girl who is sheltered by her mother Demeter who one fine day on their island home of Helos met a young sailor named Triptolimus who took her home with him, which didn't set too well with his family. When she had lost favor with them she took some seeds, his boat and went home with their daughter. Ever since Demeter has kept boys away from her daughter, keeping her a virgin and a living memorial to what she lost at Persephone's age. Then one day at a funeral Hades, the islands professed lord of the dead but actually a veteran of the Trojan war possibly a former slave to a soldeir during that conflict. Hades after veiwing Persephone goes up ground and abducts her from her freinds and takes her to his kingdom, where Persephone finds it amazing that he has things she never knew existed from indoor plumbing to hard to make food in abundance. She at first refuses to bathe or eat intent on making her ugly so he let's her go, but as time goes on he takes her to Crete to view the dancing of the bulls and she falls in love with him. Persephone knows she has to make a choice when she meets up with her father one stormy day rescueing him from drowning, and gives him back to her mother who isn't too happy to see him. But the two fall back in love and Persephone marries Hades becoming queen of the underworld as it were, but when she is before her mother and her husband she must make a decision for both herself and her daughter. Keep her daughter from knowing her grandparents like she never got to or her not knowing her father. A good take on the Hades and Persephone myth.
