Author Description

Excerpt from The Rulers of the South, Vol. 1 of 2: Sicily, Calabria, Malta Kore's playmate, leapt lightly from the woods and stood in the way as he rushed along, and She prayed with all her heart for her friend's freedom, but could not move the raging god to mercy; so she sank to earth and was lost in her own tears, which made a deep translucent well, the most beautiful of all springs in the world to this day. After that Demeter went out to seek for her lost daughter, and lighted aetria's fires for a torch, but could not find her, for. Kore had eaten the seed of the pomegranate in Pluton's house, and was wedded, and could only come back for half the year. Therefore Zeus gave her Sicily for a wed ding gift. By this is fabled the hiding of the seed in the earth, and its return to the upper world in leaf and ower.
