He spews laver out of Etna, causing earthquakes. He opens up the underworld with cracks and fissures. <br /><br />Aphrodite takes this as an opportunity to spread her power into the third realm and orders her son Eros to strike an arrow through the dark heart of Pluto - God of the underworld. <br /><br />Pluto has come to the surface to check on the damage Typhon has caused. When the arrow strikes him he is looking up into a meadow where Prosipina - daughter of Ceres is playing.<br /><br />And the rest you could say is history..........no myth.<br /><br />DDavidhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14343643387576533616noreply@blogger.com
