Original artwork description:

She was known long before ancient Greeks under a name of Cora. After her abduction from the earth to the underworld by Hades, the earth was not able to produce anything.

The plot of her abduction is the base for famous "Beauty and the Beast" and her absence for every three months is the reason for winter.
