Author's Notes
I like retellings of this myth that focus on an active choice by Persephone after the initial unwilling arrival in the underworld, so that's what I went with here. One of my favourite bits about writing this was putting in all the little references to the myth, like the three hounds' heads on the gate, and the two rivers (Styx and Lethe).
