In the game, "Queen of the Underworld" Persephone is the ruler of Elysium and the supervisor of the ivy fields in Elysium. The Temple of Eleusis on the Sacred Plain of Demeter in Attica, Greece, was the center of the cult of Persephone and Demeter, where believers gathered in the temple of "Thales of Eleusis" Talion Temple", participating in the annual Eleusinian Mysteries, which is also one of the initiation rituals of this esoteric religion. In Athens, a pair of statues dedicated to Demeter and her daughter mark the way from the Acropolis to the Sanctuary.

According to Hesiod's "Theogony", Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. As the goddess of fertility, Persephone was a beautiful, blond beauty. Her mother Demeter hid Persephone in the mountains to prevent her from contacting other gods.

One day, Persephone was picking flowers with her friends, but she inadvertently stayed away from her friends. There are all kinds of flowers blooming on the beautiful meadow. The earth goddess Gaia, with the tacit permission of Zeus, bloomed a daffodil. When Persephone went to pick the seemingly harmless narcissus, the earth opened. Four black horses (the horse called "Eurphenius" that appears in the game's Elysium is one of them) appear pulling Pluto's chariot. The resistance was so ineffective that Pluto snatched away the future Queen and disappeared into the dark underworld.

Demeter was very sad after losing her daughter and frantically searched for her everywhere, so everything on the earth stopped growing. The Sun God saw everything and told Demeter about Persephone's whereabouts. Since Zeus could not make everything on the earth desolate, he asked Hades if he could return Persephone to Demeter, and also sent Hermes to pick up Persephone. But before Hermes arrived, Hades made Persephone eat four pomegranate seeds, which forced Persephone to return to the underworld for four months every year, and spend the rest of the time with her mother in the human world. Together. When she was on the earth, it was spring and summer in the human world, and when she was in the underworld, it was autumn and winter.

In the quest line of Elysium, Adonis is an indispensable character in the resistance forces. In Greek mythology, Adonis was a beautiful man. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, fell in love with him at first sight and gave him to Queen Persephone to raise. When Adonis grew up, the Queen of Hades also fell in love with him and was reluctant to let him leave. The two goddesses refused to give in to each other, so they asked the main god Zeus for a ruling. Zeus finally determined that Adonis lived with Persephone in the underground world during the cold season, and could only return to the earthly world to live with Aphrodite when the spring flowers bloomed. The intricate relationship between Adonis and the two goddesses is also vividly reflected in the game.
