Authors often make use of ancient myths in representations of major themes like life, death and rebirth, not least those who has been awarded the Nobel Prize in literature. One of them is Louise Gl\u00fcck, who tends to return to the ancient Greek story about the vegetation goddess Demeter’s search for her lost daughter, Kore. The king of the Olympian Gods, Zeus, had given permission to his brother Hades, the ruler of the realm of the dead, to kidnap the girl against her will and crown her the queen of darkness, Persephone. When Demeter found out, she was so angered and deeply saddened that she let the harvest dry out. Human beings were starving, and soon the gods of Olympus as well, since no sacrifices were made. Zeus had to accept Demeter’s wish and agreed to let her reunite with her daughter, but only during one half of the year.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Greeks explained the changing seasons with the story about the separation and reunion of Demeter and Persephone: from winter to spring, summer to autumn. In her poetry, Gl\u00fcck examines this poem from different perspectives, challenging it and moving it around in time and space, attempting to translate the theme of rebirth into our complex present.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sigrid Schottenius Cullhed<\/strong> is a researcher in literary studies at Uppsala University.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
