| Summary | "Seekers in Sicily: Being a Quest for Persephone" by Jane and Peripatetica is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This book recounts the journey of two American women, Jane and Peripatetica, as they venture to Sicily in search of the mythological figure Persephone, exploring themes of beauty, history, and the ancient landscapes of the Mediterranean. Their quest is framed by a whimsical blend of myth and the personal adventures that arise during their travels. At the start of the narrative, the authors introduce their main characters while drawing on the myth of Persephone and Demeter, setting the tone for a journey steeped in both personal and mythological significance. Jane and Peripatetica's desire to assist Demeter in finding her daughter leads them to embark on a trip to Sicily, despite facing travel mishaps reminiscent of their character struggles. As they navigate the hardships of their voyage from Naples to Taormina, their observations of culture and geography reveal the enchanting yet challenging realities of their destination, highlighting both the beauty of Sicily and the comical misfortunes that accompany their quest.
