Today in class after reading Anne Terry White's myth, Demeter and Persephone, students quickly formed sides to argue over who is more worthy of sympathy.
For the most part, the guys seemed to side with
Pluto, God of the Underworld
[ "He's very lonely"
"He had his true love taken away from him"
"He was shot with an arrow by Eros" ]
and
the girls seemed to side with Persephone, Goddess of Springtime
[ "She was kidnapped-- taken against her will"
"More people were affected when she was sad than when Pluto was"
"She loves flowers and there are none in the underworld" ]
