The legend of Kore

In the Greek mythology Kore (the young maiden) was the juvenile aspect of Persephone, the bright side of the goddess, a goddess of spring. Kore was the parthenogenetic daughter of Demeter.
One day Kore was abducted by Hades to become his wife Persephone (destroyer of light), the queen of the underworld.
These are my drawings of the the innocent Kore and the hand of Hades rising from the ground to take her to the underworld
