The goddess Demeter was so distraught when Hades kidnapped her daughter that she caused winter to blanket the earth, killing all plants.

Viviamo ancora nella sua legge, ci avvantaggiamo del suo sistema di comunicazione, delle poderose e geniali tecniche costruttive, parliamo la sua lingua, in tante e diverse parti del mondo.
