Proserpina: Queen of the Underworld

June 2, 2026 by Theo Mercer
Proserpina seated as queen of the underworld, holding a pomegranate in a dark Roman cavern with torchlit ruins.

A few pomegranate seeds in the land of the dead, and the girl Pluto dragged underground woke up its queen. Rome grew her name in the wheat and scratched it into its curses — the same goddess for the harvest and the grave.
