Reminds me of the myth of Persephone and Demeter. Of course Persephone endured rape by Hades, and somehow her mother was complicit (Earth Mother, maiden virginal daughter), and they ended up making a bargain to keep Persephone for two thirds of the year - the remaining third Persephone would spend in the underworld. This is where we get our concept of seasons from.
