Proserpina

This section is linked from Pluto (mythology), Hymn to Proserpine, The Rape of Proserpina, Proserpine (Lully), Persephone, Averna, Ataegina, Proserpine, Queensland, Cora (hypermarket), Tanglewood Tales 125.237.28.49 (talk) 00:19, 14 March 2009 (UTC) (Among Others, feel free to add)[reply]

I think that dates should be added to the images, so that nobody gets the mistaken idea that the artwork used for the article actually comes from antiquity.69.171.163.200 (talk) 08:37, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed about the dates. I was looking in to the Vincenzo de' Rossi sculpture, and noticed that an article does not exist for this artist in the English edition. An article does exist in the Italian edition. This article should be translated and added to the English addition, and a link should be inserted in the caption.

Talk: Proserpina

Okay, so does anyone want to help with the citations, I've added a few weblinks but I think the real beauty of this article will come from written texts. As the majority of the articles on the internet surrounding this are of Persephone, not Proserpina, although they are extremely similar.

So, if anyone has any old texts, feel free to add sources and the like... I'd be very grateful as I don't have many published ancient history pieces, just the Odyssey, Iliad and Aeneid really.Calamitas-92 (talk) 09:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Talk: Art About Proserpina

This section refers to a status located in the "Great Garden" in Dresden. Did some searching on www.dresden.de site and believe this refers to the "Großer Garten", with the statue, I believe, located at : http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Gro%C3%9Fer+Garten,+Dresden,+Germany&hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=51.038539,13.76117&spn=0.000734,0.001998&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=29.992289,65.478516&t=h&z=19&lci=com.panoramio.all Could someone confirm this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dan Aquinas (talk • contribs) 23:00, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In literature, Proserpina was the name of an asteroid from the outer solar-system which the Lunarians investigated in this row of books: Poul_Anderson_bibliography#Harvest_of_Stars. It was said that its orbital elements made it basically unreachable but every few years it would "swing by" for a visit to the planets. (which was apparently a characteristic it had in common with the Greek Proserpina and thus got the name from her) chris :) 217.70.211.15 (talk) 10:02, 18 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Proserpine

This should be a disamb page, not a redirect. I will change it now as it seems clear, but if anyone objects that's just fine too, but please take up discussion here. ROxBo (talk) 13:12, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Myths

The section is virtually unsourced and largely constructed from non-scholarly and primary source material and a dose of editorial sentiment and whimsy. At least it did. The worst was the myth narrative itself; I've toned that down a bit. It still needs rewriting, with scholary sources and clear separation between sourced variants. See also Talk:Persephone.

I'm sorry, but I disagree with your last edit, quotes mentioned are from the same book and don't show any personal opinion 45.7.161.77 (talk) 21:28, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The material you've interpreted are lines from a poem which you've interpreted, or quoted to make a case not put forward by the poem iteslf. Editors can't do that with primary sources, only secondary sources can. It might help you to very carefully read through the Wikipedia rules on editing and sourcing, available via the welcome message on your talk-page. Haploidavey (talk) 21:38, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not interpreting, just indicating that certain verses say she loves him and another passage that she doesn't want to see her mother 45.7.161.77 (talk) 21:42, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
it's literally what the poem is talking about 45.7.161.77 (talk) 21:43, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
