I've been wanting to reread Jane Yolen's Briar Rose since the beginning of the year. It gets more relevant every day. I had had an old library discard but haven't been able to find it so now a 'new' copy is on its way.

Κόρη Kore maiden, girl, daughter.
This is the "name" used for Her as Demeter's daughter. It denotes the innocence and possibility inherent in youth. So I figured Springtime Persephone was the best fit for today.

Έπαινε epaine awe-inspiring awe-full
This is less an epithet and more a common descriptor of the goddess. It is the concept of the blinding and intense glory of divinity and the feeling we are inclined to when in the presence of the sacred.
