“Kore” means “maiden/little girl,” but “Persephone” means “bringer of destruction.”

[@junob9211]

persephone was often called “kore” to avoid getting her attention (underworld god superstition in ancient greece)

[@asmodea9779]

Name Persephone was made from merging two words "perse" and "pata"-and the translation for it is "the briginer of death" , at least thats what I've learned long time ago😅

[@Clytemnestra610]

@@junob9211 sorry for any mistypea or inconsistencies, typed out on phone fun fact! She was also referred to by Persephone to avoid Her attention! The cult of Demeter and Persephone is SUPPPEEERRRR ancient, like pre-Myceneaen Greece, and VERY secretive. Persephone is the closest we have to the actual name of this underworld goddess More on the super ancient part, this cult is old enough that it was before "Hades" existed, instead the Mycenaean Poseidon filled the role of underworld king and thus, husband to Mycenaean Persephone! (Also, Mycenaean Demeter and Mycenaean Zeus were horses when they did the do to have Persephone so that's a funky fact for ya)

for anyone wondering about the 'cora' part, persephone's real/original name was kore

[@drpeppperdevil]

[@zoeapostolidou3964]

Actually "Kore" is a title, not a name. It means daughter or maiden and it spoke of Persephone's role beside her mother, "the mother". Her name has always been persephone.

[@v-keiarchive4993]

@@zoeapostolidou3964 Proserpina name was Kore it meant Maiden and was still also a title so you're both right

[@lemons_66]

@@v-keiarchive4993 Well what's funny is that a lot of historians believe Persephone was originally a goddess called Despoina. As greek mythology as we know today from an ancient Greek Tribe called Arcadia. There, Demeter also exists in their myths, but those myths claim that Demeter had *two* daughters: Kore and Despoina; and a "son" horse called Arion. Problem was, while writings said Persephone was instead Kore in these myths, Despoina real name was never revealed as it was a secret. So many people believe that these were actually all the same individual with different counter personalities. This is evident because Despoina's powers/realms deal with literally nature, death and birth. Which is heavily similar into her role in the hymn of Persephone and her kidnapping and her eventual role as Queen of the Underworld. Also because her name Persephone really counters the as being the Goddess of Spring because it's roughly translated as meaning "Bringer of Death"; however, it's not if you consider her also to be Despoina. What's wild is that no matter what, "Persephone" is the only name associated with any of this. "Kore" and "Despoina" are both titles and aren't actual names, one being maiden and the other mistress. Coupled with the fact that Despoina's real name was never revealed in writings AND that she is usually depicted with a veal covering her face, it's almost like Persephone was in fact both Kore and Despoina. Which to many, this makes sense since she deals with the realms of life (birth) and death. I'd argue that Persephone was probably one of thee strongest and more feared goddesses in existence and one of the oldest along with her mother Demeter. Also fun fact: Hades didn't exist for some time, and definitely not during Acardia times. That role was generally taken over by Posiden of the underworld.

[@mellowivy4486]

Edit: Why the song used the name Kore (Cora) when referring to Persephone. - So I’ll do a quick mythology lesson, during Mycanean Greece (Greece before the Greece that we know) there were two death deities that were females called the Two Queens/Mistresses and one King, the king is believed to be the deity of earth and the ocean (ie. Hades and Poseidon mix). But the two females were found to be connected to Demeter and Persephone, Persephone being the one for the underworld and the daughter of the other two deities mentioned. Kore was one of her many names because she was the original death deity and the superstition that it is bad to grab a death deity’s attention. That’s why she has many names with different meanings because they wanted to be as vague as possible in fear of getting her attention, to the point now, we know nothing of her original form and name (only variations).

It's a persephone song. About how Hades(God of the dead king of the underworld) stole persephone(formerly known as kore aka maiden goddess of spring newly minted as persephone the queen of death and life) from the mortal realm to be his wife. It sounds awful but it's a sweeter story than you'd think...kinda. if you like romance and Greek lore I'd suggest you read lore olympus.
