Patty Hearst

Fairy tales are often anything but fiction. Whether they were based on fact or become fact after they are written, again and again themes from some of our favorite childhood fairytales appear in our lives. Patty Hearst is one example. A very rich girl was kidnapped in 1974 by the Symionese Liberation Army and eventually brainwashed. After her compliance with her kidnapper, Heast robbed a bank with her abductor.

This age old story can be related to the story of Peresphone who was kidnapped by Hades in Greek mythology. When she was taken to the underworld, she enjoyed being the Queen.

Persephone would have stayed in Hades if it weren't for her concerned mother, Demeter.
