“Persephone had to live in the Underworld for half the year and during that time Demeter stopped plants from growing but taught the farmers how to grow crops on their own.”

 

“The souls of the dead are lifeless creatures that live in Hades’ realm.”

 

“Hermes guided the souls of the dead down to the brink of the river Styx,a murky river that flowed around the Underworld.”

 

“Hades is the ruler of the dead and is sometimes referred to as the Rich One.”
