Story Time!

Although Pluto was brother of Jupiter, yet none of thegoddesses would condescend to marry him, owing to thedeformity of his person, joined to the darkness of hismansions. Enraged at this reluctance in the goddesses, and

mortified at his want of issue, Pluto ascended his chariot,and drove to Sicily, where chancing to discoverProserpine with her companions gathering flowers in avalley of Enna, near mount Aetna, the grisly god, struckwith her charms, instantly seized her, and forcing her into

his chariot, went rapidly off to the river Chemarus,through which he opened himself a passage to the realmsof night. Orpheus says, this descent was made through theCecropian cave in Attica, not far from Eleusis.

Examples in Art

Major artists who produced works depicting Pluto include:

Drer,Abduction of Proserpine on a Unicorn(1516), etching(pictured under Medieval andRenaissance literature above). Drer's first English biographer called this work "a wild, weirdconception" that "produces a most uncomfortable, shuddering impression on thebeholder."[236]The source or significance of the unicornas the form of transport is unclear;Drer's preparatory drawing showed a conventional horse. Pluto seems to be presented in amanner that recalls the leader of the Wild Hunt.[237]

Caravaggio, Jupiter, Neptune, and Pluto(Italian Giove, Nettuno e Plutone, ca.1597), a ceilingmural(pictured under Theogonies and cosmology above) intended for viewing from below,hence the unusual perspective. Caravaggio created the work for a room adjacent tothe alchemicaldistilleryof CardinalFrancesco Maria Del Monte, his most important patron. Thethree gods hover around a translucent globe that represents the world: Jupiter with his eagle,Neptune holding a bident, and Pluto accompanied by a bluish-gray horse and a Cerberuswhoresembles a three-headedborder colliemore than a hellhound. In addition to personifyingthe classical elementsair, water, and earth, the three figures represent "an allegory oftheapplied scienceof alchemy".[138]

Brueghel the Elder, Orpheus before Pluto and Proserpina(1604), painting.[238]

Bernini, Pluto and Proserpina(162122), also known as The Rape of Proserpina, sculpturewith a Cerberus looking in three different directions.[239]

Rembrandt,Abduction of Proserpina(ca.1631), painting influenced by Rubens (viathe engravingof his student Pieter Soutman).[240]Rembrandt's leonine Pluto draws onClaudian's description of the god as like a ravening lion. [241]

Examples in Movies

In the Evil Dead (2013), Eric awakens the Evil

Dead by using the Latin phrase Kunda,

Astratta, Montosse, Canda. There is no official

translation. However, in ancient Rome, people

were afraid of saying Plutos name because they

were afraid to get Plutos attention, which would

result in being dragged to the Underworldwhere they would not be able to return.
