* Persephonean: This adjective refers to something related to Persephone, often used in contexts of the underworld or the cycle of death and rebirth.
* Hades: The name of Persephone's husband and the Greek god of the underworld, also used as an adjective to describe anything relating to him or the underworld.
* Narcissist: Although not directly related to Persephone, the myth of Narcissus, who was punished by the gods for his vanity after he rejected Persephone's advances, has given us the term "narcissist" to describe someone who is excessively self-absorbed.
While there aren't many direct linguistic descendants, Persephone's myth has left its mark on the English language through these and other related concepts.
