Proserpina

Roman queen of the underworld, daughter of Ceres and Jupiter, seized by her uncle Pluto and made his wife; identified with the Greek Persephone, whose name Ovid himself uses once. Ovid tells the abduction near Henna, the seven pomegranate seeds and the year divided in halves; Virgil makes her "infernal Queen" to whom the golden bough is sacred and to whom Aeneas sacrifices before entering the dead's realm.
