this page needs to be re-titled Proserpina. I've taken out the mythology and padding. Marca Hortensia Maior

Don't argue, These are religio articles; with articles of Roman gods use Latin names. Keep to the style. Which is why we have a Cultus Task Force. Apollo has no Latin name, so he's Apollo. Marca Hortensia Maior

The Romans called her Persephone as well:

The Trinacrian land took its name from its shape: It runs out in three rocky capes to the vast ocean. It’s a place dear to Ceres. She owns, there, many cities, Among them fertile Enna, with its well-ploughed soul. Cool Arethusa gathered together the mothers of the gods: And the yellow-haired goddess came to the sacred feast. Her daughter, Persephone, attended by girls, as ever, Wandered barefoot through Enna’s meadows. In a shadow-filled valley there’s a place, Wet by the copious spray from a high fall. All the colours of nature were displayed there, And the earth was bright with hues of various flowers. On seeing it she cried: ‘Come here to me, my friends, And each carry back, with me, a lapful of flowers.’ The foolish prize enticed their girlish spirits, And they were too busy to feel weary. - Ovid, Fasti IV
