Pluto and Proserpina/Hades and Persephone in Ovid is uhhhh

[CW rape]

Pluto
Saw her and wanted her and carried her off
All in the same moment, so precipitous his love.
The divine girl cried out plaintively to her mother
And to her friends, but mostly her mother.

:(

A nymph tries to stand in his way:

“Hold it right there!
Do you think you can be the son-in-law of Ceres
Without her permission? The girl should be asked,
Not raped! If you don’t mind the comparison,
Anapis loved me, and I finally married him,
But after I was wooed, not scared out of my wits
Like this poor girl!”

…Cyane, grieving for the rape of the goddess
And the trampled rights of her spring, bore
The unendurable wound in her silent heart
And was consumed by her tears.

:( :( :( :(
