A coin was placed under the dead person's tongue. It was meant for charon, the ferryman who took the dead across the River Styx to the underworld. A story from the underworld is of Dimiter and Persephone. This story explains that when Persephone was in the underworld it was winter and when she was with Demeter it was summer, spring and autumn.
