Summary
The tale of why the world is cold and barren in winter has been told, of how Demeter mourns her daughter during her six months in the realm of Hades.
What has yet to be told is the tale of why, during those same six months, the nights are longer and darker. It happens that Mother Nyx too has cause to mourn, for when all was being settled by the gods above and below, Demeter demanded equality. If Persephone of Olympus was to spend half the year in Hades, a child of the underworld must spend half the year on Olympus in turn. And it just so happened that Thanatos, god of death, had long ago been betrothed to Ares, god of war...
