Core and Pluto

CORE – Ceres, the goddess of the earth, crops and vegetation, had a daughter from Jupiter: Core, whom she loved above all else. There... in the land where spring is eternal, not far from the walls of Enna, Core enjoyed picking flowers with her fellow girls too. The scent of her daffodils wafted through the air and Core filled the skirts of her dress and shared with her companions who could pick the most. Following that sweet scent she arrived on Etna...

PLUTO – There on the volcano… near the crater… suddenly… the earth opened up and Pluto the god of the underworld came out. She saw Core and immediately fell in love with him. Overcoming her resistance, the lord of the night placed her Kore in her golden chariot and, shaking her bridle, launched her rust-dark horses. The earth opened up... a chasm opened up... and the chariot sank and disappeared among the flashes of sulfur that erupted from that earth.
