Persephone Shirt, Greek Mythology Tee, Mythology Teacher Gift, Spring Goddess Gift for Classics Fans and Myth Lovers

Six seeds. Totally worth it. A chibi storybook-watercolor Persephone tee for mythology and classics teachers, Greek myth fans and anyone who loves spring.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
In Greek myth, Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of grain, and she is carried off to the underworld. Because she eats pomegranate seeds there, she cannot stay above for the whole year, and the myth has long been told to explain why spring returns when she comes back to her mother. The seed count is not fixed: in the oldest surviving telling, the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, the king of the underworld slips her a single seed, Ovid's Metamorphoses says seven, and other tellings give other numbers.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT
- Funny Persephone shirt: the watercolor chibi goddess with long wavy brown hair and a crown of pink, cream and yellow flowers, in a green Greek-style gown with gold trim, holding a cut pomegranate and a wheat sheaf, with spring flowers at her feet on one side and bare winter branches on the other, says "Six seeds. Totally worth it."
- For mythology, Latin and classics teachers, Greek myth fans, gardeners, spring lovers and anyone who has ever eaten the snack they were told not to
- Big, bold speech-bubble joke, with the design printed about 10½ to 11½ inches wide, depending on size, so it reads across the room
- Original chibi watercolor art by Honeyman Tees: long wavy brown hair, a flower crown, a green Greek-style gown with gold trim, a cut pomegranate, a wheat sheaf, spring flowers, bare winter branches and sandals
- Soft, comfy tee, made to order and printed to last
