In Greek Mythology, Virgo is mostly associated with Persephone, wife of Hades.
Persephone, daughter of Demeter, was gathering flowers in a meadow. Hades saw and fell in love with her.
He attracted Persephone with a narcissus flower. When she approached it, he opened a hole in the ground and captured her to be his wife.
Demeter, Persephone’s mother and the goddess of agriculture and fertility, couldn’t bear the news. She left all her duties as a goddess started searching for Persephone. Famine took over the world.
Zeus desperately called for Hermes’ help to retrieve Persephone from the underworld. Although Hermes did bring Persephone back, she had already eaten a pomegranate which bound her to the underworld. By ancient law, she had to stay in the underworld for four months every year.
When Persephone is in the underworld, Demeter’s grief brings winter, cold, and hunger to the world. When Persephone comes back, Demeter’s light, warmth, and fertility cover up the world.
