Everything about Leuce Mythology totally explained
Leuce was a
nymph in
Greek mythology, daughter of
Oceanus, carried off by
Hades, the god of the underworld. According to some versions, she was metamorphosed by Hades in a white poplar tree after her death. Another version is that she was metamorphosed by
Persephone into a
white poplar tree while standing by the pool of Memory.
Heracles on his way back from his
Twelfth Labour wove himself a wreath from the white poplar tree, or aspen. The outer leaves remained black, the colour of the underworld, but the leaves in contact with his brow became silver-white by his sweat. Thus the white poplar was sacred to him, signifying that he's laboured in both worlds.
The white poplar was also sacred to Persephone as Goddess of Regeneration.
