About This Book

The narrative contrasts a lush garden tended by Persephone with the desolate, uncanny realm of Pluto, mapping a transition from life to death through richly sensory descriptions. It presents the ruined beauty of a sunlit garden and the oppressive, otherworldly darkness of Hades, with its altered flora, the rivers Styx, Acheron, Phlegethon and Lethe, and a fortress-like palace where the dead dwell amid music, feasting, and strange entertainments. Themes include memory and forgetfulness, the mingling of beauty and horror, and the ambivalent comforts offered by the underworld, rendered in evocative, mythic detail.
