Question

Long, long ago, in the beautiful island of Sicily, there lived a goddess called Ceres. She was the
goddess of crops, plants and trees; so on her depended the health and happiness of all the people
of this wide world.
Ceres had a fair daughter, Proserpine, whom she loved more than her life. Proserpine was the
brightest and loveliest of all girls. Her cheeks were rosy and beautiful like the apple blossoms (Pom/477)
in spring. Her eyes were as blue as the sky in April. Her long golden curls were as bright as the sunlight
in springtime. All the radiant(Taga/THÁTTT) loveliness of springtime seemed to have taken the form of
this fair maiden (AIS/HRT). Everybody said, “She is the Spring.” Proserpine helped her mother in the
fields. With her young companions she danced and sang, while gathering flowers.
Far down the earth, there lived dark Pluto, king of the land of the dead. He had often asked
some goddess to come and live with him, but no goddess was willing to live among the dead. So
Pluto was very lonely. _
