    Summary

    A response to the LiveJournal 2016 SSHG-Promptfest: http://sshg-promptfest.livejournal.com/

    Prompt: Retelling of any mythology story with Severus and Hermione as the main characters (SS/HG or SS & HG)
    Prompter: leontinabowie

    Summary: Hermione hears an old tale told in preparation for her trip to Eleusis and Athens, where she is soon to be an initiate in the Great Mysteries. Listen, children of Hecate and Prometheus, as the centaur Lygaeus tells his tale, and as Hermione clearly envisions the story as it is spun. (SS/HG)

    Note: This is a retelling of the Persephone and Hades story. It does not involve abduction or rape, and is told from a different perspective where she willingly goes with him. This retelling is fashioned after the slightly more formal style of prose I have encountered when reading Greek myths, and the way the stories are worded and translated from original ancient texts.
