Description
Who will become the undisputed queen of the Underworld? On one side is the Norse goddess Hel. She watches over the souls of those who die of sickness or old age and represents the balance between life and death. On the other side is the Greek goddess Persephone. She can communicate with the dead and represents the changing of the seasons. If these two goddesses clashed, who would come out on top? Compare and contrast Hel’s and Persephone’s strengths, powers, and weaknesses in this Mythology Matchup.
