*Merovingian
In the West, Merovingian kings and queens laid the foundations for the formation of much of Europe. The Merovingian were Franks, a Germanic tribe, and like many other Germanic tribes they had served in the Roman military since the 4th century. Although they initially settled in the far northern regions of the Roman Empire, the Franks gradually moved south into what is today Belgium and northern France. At the end of the 5th century their king, Clovis I (whose grandfather, Merovech, gave his name to the dynasty), defeated the local Roman commander and took over his army, civil service, and lands. By 537 the Franks had conquered what is today France, Belgium, Switzerland, and northwestern Germany.
The mystique that surrounds them includes attributions of saintliness, magical powers (derived from their long red hair), and even divine origin, stemming from their supposed
descent from the one and only Jesus Christ.
* Persephone
Persephone, in Greek mythology, daughter of Zeus, father of the gods, and of Demeter, goddess of the earth and of agriculture. Hades, god of the underworld, fell in love with Persephone and wished to marry her. Although Zeus gave his consent, Demeter was unwilling. Hades, therefore, seized the maiden as she was gathering flowers and carried her off to his realm. As Demeter wandered in search of her lost daughter, the earth grew desolate. All vegetation died, and famine devastated the land. Finally Zeus sent Hermes, the messenger of the gods, to bring Persephone back to her mother. Before Hades would let her go, he asked her to eat a pomegranate seed, the food of the dead. She was thus compelled to return to the underworld for one-third of the year. As both the goddess of the dead and the goddess of the fertility of the earth, Persephone was a personification of the revival of nature in spring.
