Proserpine and Midas
by Mary Shelley
Here is a positive poetic drama in which Shelley is based on ancient myths. Based on the Roman legend of the abduction of Proserpina with Ceres Pluto and the Greek legend of the greedy emperor Midas, who was given the qualification of an alchemist, these are fascinating literary works. His creative genius in poetry graced this classical literature. Wonderful!
