This life-size bronze sculpture is located at the reflecting pool near the Greek theater. It was the work of famed sculptor
Marshall Fredericks, who became an assistant to Carl Milles at Cranbrook. It was created in 1965.
According to legend, Persephone, the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, was abducted by Hades, god of the underworld.
Demeter eventually persuaded Hades to let Persephone return to earth, but before doing so, Hades tricked her
into eating a pomegranate, the food of the dead, forcing her to remain in the underworld
for half of each year. When she left the earth, the flowers withered
and died and when she returned, they blossomed.
