Introduction:
For the longest time, I have had an interest in the Greek myth of Hades/Pluto & Persephone, & the fine line between love & obsession.
I have multiple plots for anyone interested, so please let me know if you would like to give any of them a shot, or if my post has sparked another idea from you.
IInspiration:
Possible Plots:
~First up, a retelling of the story with themes of angst & power struggle; Pluto will struggle to give his new wife the love she wants, while battling the urge to claim her, thus creating the main conflict between the two.
~Persephone passes away due to intervening from her mother(Demeter). Initially, Hades/Pluto is grief-stricken, but he learns to accept her death & waits for his pool of souls to regurgitate her back into the world of the living. Flash forward to 1818 in Whitechapel, London, where Persephone has been reborn as a wealthy merchant's daughter. During his quest to retrieve his bride, Pluto begins to kill prostitutes in the area who dare to use his beloved's name while turning tricks, earning the title of Jack the Ripper.
~Similar to the last plot, but Persephone is reincarnated even further in the future, during contemporary times. Persephone is now a straight-forward & strong woman, rather than the wilting maiden he knew in the past.
