The concept (using the myth, waiting for winter to end)
and the myth itself. I try to collect anything I can find involving it - I found some awesome poems by A.E. Cummings using the myth, one is a letter that Persephone writes to her mother.
My friend who teaches philosophy and mythology at my old college also pointed out that this is a dangerous subject. The many different versions of the myth and how they are interpreted can make it seem a less well intended subject, but I personally like to always take myths and tweak them to my own liking.

appropriation of a mythology and/or its characters are only help the myths live today - it also encourages people to find out more about these characters and stories, perhaps to search out the originals from the cultures they came from - thus encouraging the study of history.
I could go on and on, I forget how much I think about these kinds of things!
