About this episode
The goddess Persephone was queen of the Underworld. To the amazement of the other divinities, she became the wisest of them all. On rare occasions she would invite humans to visit her in that dark place.
In this episode we recount her visit with Parmenides, the pre-Socratic philosopher who influenced modern thought.
