The Rape of Persephone, or Abduction of Persephone, is a classical mythological subject in Western art, depicting the abduction of Persephone by Hades. In this context, the word Rape refers to the traditional translation of the Latin raptus ('seized' or 'carried off') which refers to bride kidnapping rather than the potential ensuing sexual violence.[1]
