In this myth, Demeter is the goddess of harvest and fertility and her daughter Persephone is abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld. Demeter is so distraught that she withdraws her gifts from the world and causes all plant life to wither and die.

Finally, Persephone is allowed to return to her mother for part of the year, and when she does, the world is once again filled with color and life. It is a Greek story that depicts the cycle of life and death, and how new growth is always possible even in the darkest of times.

This same idea is found in all ancient religions. To symbolically teach alchemical students, the Greeks used the mathematical problem of "squaring the circle." The phrase "squaring the circle" is often used in Greek to describe a task that seems impossible to complete. The phrase comes from a mathematical problem that has never been solved, and it symbolizes the idea of trying to achieve something that may be beyond our reach. The even sides of squares can also represent balance, order, and harmony.
