Who is Persephone?

Persephone is the goddess of the underworld drawn from Greek mythology, appearing in DC's Amazonian universe as a member of the divine Olympian pantheon alongside deities such as Zeus, Hades, Apollo, and Artemis.

Rooted in the rich soil of Greek mythology, Persephone has graced DC's pages since her 1987 debut in Wonder Woman #5, brought to life by the legendary team of George Pérez and Len Wein during one of the most celebrated runs in the title's history. As a figure of the divine pantheon, she keeps extraordinary company — sharing pages with Wonder Woman herself alongside the likes of Zeus, Hades, Apollo, and Artemis — placing her squarely within the mythological heart of DC's Amazonian universe. Her appearances span an impressive nearly four decades, touching landmark publications like Who's Who: Update '87 and the prestige Absolute Wonder Woman line, a testament to her enduring place in this corner of comics mythology.
