The Ancient World

echoofmydreams asked: About that Demeter post...I am sorry but when you post something please do some research on it...Kore was not the name of her daughter,Kore means daughter in Greek...Her daughter's name was Persephone and she was married to Hades...I think that anyone with the slightest greek history knowledge is aware of this...

Although it is true that Demeter’s daughter was called Persephone, another name for her was Kore denoting her function as “the maiden” especially in relation to the Eleusinian Mysteries. Kore was in fact her original name, and she was known as Persephone later. There are many reputable sites that corroborate this information if you are interested in learning some more about Kore. Pantheon.org and arthistory.sbc.edu both have articles about Persephone which reference her duality as Kore.
