"According to the stars, it happened on a dusky evening after a rain, at the time when day and night alternate,"
"The Moon had not yet risen, but the Sun had not set either - that is the answer I can give you."
The words of the Goddess of the Magic Net were heavily suggestive, so, armed with this precise omen, Demeter hurried off. She stopped the God of Sun just as the Sun was about to rise, and asked him about everything he had seen. Under her questioning, Helios initially tried to hide the truth, but eventually, he had no choice but to reveal the outcome.
"I don't know why such a thing has happened... Princess Demeter, I only saw that on that day, in the secluded valley you spoke of, the earth split open, and the ruler of the Underworld took her away in his chariot."
