The Homeric form of<br \/>\nher name is Persephoneia (\u03a0\u03b5\u03c1\u03c3\u03b5\u03c6\u03bf\u03bd\u03b5\u03af\u03b1,Persephon\u0113ia). In other dialects she was known under variant<br \/>\nnames: Persephassa (\u03a0\u03b5\u03c1\u03c3\u03b5\u03c6\u03ac\u03c3\u03c3\u03b1), Persephatta (\u03a0\u03b5\u03c1\u03c3\u03b5\u03c6\u03ac\u03c4\u03c4\u03b1), or simply Kor\u0113 (\u039a\u03cc\u03c1\u03b7, &#8220;girl, maiden&#8221;).<br \/>\nPlato calls her Pherepapha (\u03a6\u03b5\u03c1\u03ad\u03c0\u03b1\u03c6\u03b1) in his Cratylus, &#8220;because she is wise and touches that which<br \/>\nis in motion&#8221;. There also the formsPerifona (\u03a0\u03b7\u03c1\u03b9\u03c6\u03cc\u03bd\u03b1) and Phersephassa (\u03a6\u03b5\u03c1\u03c3\u03ad\u03c6\u03b1\u03c3\u03c3\u03b1). The existence<br \/>\nof so many different forms shows how difficult it was for the Greeks to pronounce the word in their<br \/>\nown language and suggests that the name has probably a pre-Greek origin.<\/p>\n<p>Location: Soprintendenza Per I Beni Archeologici Museo Nazionale Di Locri, 89044 Locri, Province of<br \/>\nReggio Calabria, Italy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Pinax [ votive tablet ] of Persephone opening the &#8220;Liknon Mystikon&#8221;.
