Sing in me, O muse, the tale of the woman who ventured into the unknown land of Victoria in search for her fellow comrade in the abyss of the Underworld. Tell me of the one whose wisdom and courage overcame the wrath of Hades and prevailed over the beasts of the Underworld. Many pains she suffered both by land and by sea, and many battles she won. Nevertheless, the wild recklessness of her crew members led to their own tragic demise at the hands of Poseidon. Begin the tale as she crosses the rivers of the Underworld on the ferryboat of Charon. “Mortal, why have you come to the gates of the Underworld? Tell me, then, of your adventures,” said Charon, the ferryman of Hades. “I am Lydia, daughter of King Theiodamas. I come from the distant land of Washington, where my people revere my loyalty, bravery, and mentality. I have traversed many miles in the hope of finding my dear comrade, Crisanta, who is trapped beyond the gates of the Underworld by Hades and its beasts. My home is on the rocky coast of Washington, many miles away from the island of Victoria. A tragedy struck the town when my fellow comrade and friend, Crisanta, disappeared inexplicably from her home.

It was about an hour later that I decided to sit and curl up, figuring I was a safe enough distance from Hades, and wept harder still. It wasn’t until so deeply wounded by him that everything became clear. I now knew why I couldn’t breathe and my heart did funny things around him. I knew why he made me dizzy and why I craved his companionship so. When Hades said I was bound to him, he didn’t know right he was, fruit or no fruit. I was in love with him. It was during this revelation that I heard someone approach and I attempted to silence my cries.

“Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy. Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home. But he could not save them from disaster, hard as he strove- the recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all, the blind fools, the devoured cattle of the Sun and the Sun god blotted out the day of their return. Launch out on his story, Muse, daughter of Zeus, start from where you will-sing for our time too. “3

“Go back to the depths of Hades whence you came, vile woman!” I scolded in a shaky voice. She let out a blood curdling screech that no mortal could imitate, which has still scarred me for years beyond one would imagine. I couldn't help but stare, as she was melting, being incapacitated right before my eyes. I still couldn’t figure out why she wanted to bring down this horror on me, of all people. She answered my question for me,
The afterlife or Underworld as a residence for souls after death has been a very common theme in literature. This notion intrigues us, this concept of a state of being that once experienced cannot be shared. Yet we continue to envision what it might be like. The Underworld, as a place beneath the earth where souls go after death has been reimagined countless time, from early Greek epics, such as the Iliad and Odyssey to more modern sources like Dante’s Inferno.

In the reading from “The ‘Theology’ of the Mysteries,” in The Homer Hymn to Demeter Foley states how Demeter and Persephone create a new relationship between earth, Olympus, and Hades as a result of their deep engagement in human existence. The narration of the hymn seems to occur in both the divine and human spheres, bringing the gods and mortals together through the intersection of their experience that results in the Mysteries.
