普洛塞庇娜

普洛塞庇娜,被普路托劫持后因吃下了冥府的石榴籽而再也无法与冥府脱离关系。

普洛塞庇娜(Proserpina,又译作普罗塞耳皮娜)是罗马神话普路托的妻子,冥府的女王。相对应于希腊神话中冥王哈得斯的妻子珀耳塞福涅,罗马神话中冥王普路托的妻子则是普洛塞庇娜

罗马人首次听到珀耳塞福涅的名字的方言时便叫她为普洛塞庇涅(Proserpine),因此在后来的罗马神话中就将她的名字定为现在的普洛塞庇娜。

普洛塞庇娜是大神朱比特和农业女神席瑞斯(对应于希腊神话中的狄蜜特)的女儿,关于她的神话完全是从珀耳塞福涅的神话照搬过来的。

罗马女神的普洛塞庇娜后来成为文艺复兴的代表形象之一。同时也是三相女神中象徵月缺的形态,與象徵月盈的卢娜及象徵月圓的黛安娜相對應。
