<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8201399, member: 110350&quot;]Given that I don&#039;t have any other coins to illustrate the earlier parts of the Ceres-Pluto-Proserpina story, here instead are some illustrations from my 1924 copy of &quot;A Child&#039;s Book of Myths,&quot; which belonged to my father. It was both written and illustrated by the well-known children&#039;s writer Margaret Evans Price. The illustrations are <u>very</u> 1920s-ish!</p><p><br /></p><p>Pluto chilling out in Hades, before he sees Proserpina:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437215[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Pluto kidnaps Proserpina</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437216[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Ceres is sad:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/illustration-of-ceres-from-a-childs-book-of-myths-jpg.1213900/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Mercury to the rescue, sent by Jupiter:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437218[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Proserpina eating the fateful seeds:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1437219[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>And because the book missed its chance to depict the reunion of Proserpina and her mother, here&#039;s the scene again on my coin:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/aureus-antoninus-pius-ceres-proserpina-arete-photo-jpg.1437015/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>And they all lived happily ever after.</p><p><br /></p><p>The End.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
