Why did Kore change her name to Persephone

Click to see full answer.Kore was the ancient greek word for young girl, the equivalent of our maiden, and persephone was often referred to as such to highlight her innocence.All of this demonstrates that kore, when used for persephone, is a title and an indication of who she is and her stage of life before she evolves into persephone, the queen.Referring to persephone as kore denotes the stage of maiden before she transitions into the full bloom of woman.Her name was always persephone, that was her name before she became the wife of hades and after that, it never changed.

I've read that when she was young she was called core (maiden), and after she was kidnapped she changed her name to persephone (bringer of destruction/death).Despite the intervention of zeus (her father), persephone had eaten the seeds of a pomegranate given to her by.
