Lore of Proserpine011 - BECKWITH'S CASE -Part 2In Lore of Proserpine, we explore the idea that what may not be sensibly true can still hold moral significance. The Greeks viewed natural phenomena—thunderstorms, meadows, groves, and streams—not just as physical occurrences but as reflections of deeper spiritual conflicts or moments of tranquility. This perspective allows us to find profound meaning beneath the surface of our experiences. Each story within this work offers rich moral and spiritual interpretations, some of which carry significant implications for our time. Let the narrative speak for itself, as its truths await your discovery. - Summary by Maurice Hewlett
