A Greek Mythology themed t-shirt, inspired by the story of Persephone, the goddess of spring, and Hades, god of the underworld.
Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, goddess of the earth. Hades abducts Persephone one day as she is gathering flowers by a stream. Demeter goes in search of her daughter but is unable to find her. Demeter’s grief causes the crops to fail, and famine comes upon the land. Zeus intervenes and commands Hades to return Persephone. Reluctant to release her, Hades forces Persephone to eat a pomegranate seed, the food of the dead. As a result, she can spend only six months out of the year with her mother; the other six months she is destined to spend in the realm of Hades. To the Greeks, the return of Persephone from the underworld symbolised the return of life in the spring.
Our Persephone & Hades design has been screen printed in the South West of England, onto a pomegranate-coloured t-shirt, in a bold white print.
Made from 100% cotton, this dark red t-shirt is unisex for a relaxed fit.
Excellent quality t-shirt. Cool design and definitely value for money.
The top is so soft and comfy! Love it so much!! Beautiful design and not too out there
I wear this often to exercise classes and it is very comfortable to wear, with the design being very simplistic yet elegant; I feel like I can tackle the world (and the underworld!) when wearing this. Great value for money and washes like a dream.
Lovely colour. Comfy and casual. Stylish design. Great for fans of mythology.
I have a few of your t-shirts and this one is so nice. Love the colour and so comfortable to wear.
