The Lies Of Men - Persephone

Persephone was a Greek goddess. Goddess of earth and spring growth, daughter of Zeus and Demeter. She became queen of the underworld and Hades wife. She knew the secrets of darkness.

"So the Shadow wail'd.
Then I, Earth-Goddess, cursed the Gods of Heaven.
The man, that only lives and loves an hour,
 Seem'd nobler than their hard Eternities.
(...)dark lord accept and love the Sun"

Excerpts from Demeter and Persephone, Alfred Lord Tennyson

The Lies Of Men - The Despair Of Lamia

“The despair of Lamia” is the “The Lies of Men” project’s first track to be released. 

 Lamia was a beautiful queen of Libya, daughter of Poseidon and lover of Zeus, who became a child-eating daemon. Zeus’ jealous wife, Hera, killed all of Lamia’s children and cursed her with the inability to close her eyes so that she would always obsess over the image of her dead children. Her despair transformed her into a monster who hunted and devoured the children of others.
