Underworld comings and goings
Chapter 7
They believed that there was quite a lot of coming and going between the earth and the oUnderworld,
2Even though nobody ever actually saw it happen,
3Which is why belief is such a wonderful thing.
4They believed that pPersephone got kidnaped to the Underworld by the King of the Underworld,
5Who was a God named qHades,
6rWho had to keep up with his brother Zeus,
7sWho was setting all the records for having love affairs with Greek women.
8And Persephone also managed to get out,
9But only on a part-time basis,
10Which is why we have the seasons, the Greeks believed,
11Being a tribe who believed in a lot of things.
12When Persephone is with Hades in the Underworld, it is winter on earth,
13And when Persephone gets back out of the Underworld again, it becomes spring and summer,
14tWhich helps explain why the weather is so unpredictable,
15uWomen being what they are about punctuality.
16Nor was this all the Greeks believed.
