Help[Facts] Re: Perse[phone]...?
in reply to a message by Sabertooth
In Greek word for murder is φόνος / phonos, and voice is φωνή / phone. Since Persephone is written Περσεφόνη and not Περσεφώνη we can rule out "voice" as a possible meaning of the name. However the meaning of Persephone is unknown and there are many alternative spellings (Persephassa / Phersephassa / Persephatta / Phersephatta etc.) that could lead to alternative etymologies.
