Persephone, the Kore and Queen of the Underworld, as well as Hera, Goddess of Marriage and Demeter, Goddess of Grain, is a vulnerable goddess. These 3 goddesses personify archetypes that represent the traditional roles of women : daughter, wife and mother.


The vulnerable goddesses are the relationship-oriented goddesses, whose identity and well-being depend on having a significant relationship. They express the needs in women for affiliation.

In Greek mythos, the Goddess Persephone was worshipped in 2 ways, as the Kore (which means "young girl" and refers to the Eternal Maiden) and as Queen of the Underworld after her abduction by Hades. She reigns over the dead souls and guides the living who visit the Underworld.
