The Eleusinian Mysteries is a poetic subversion of the ancient Greek myth of Persephone, in which the young goddess abducted by Hades is not a passive victim but a cunning protagonist in her own right who actively resists the narrative that has historically held her captive. Over the course of a series of interrelated narrative poems, she discovers the secrets of her mythological cosmos and ultimately rises to challenge the gods who rule it.
