ANSWER: The two lines that shows that Emperor Nero was ruthless are:
1. “Bring him to me here this instant,” said he, “and let Marcus with his knife and branding-iron be in attendance.”
and
2. "I have half a mind to burn their town about their ears so that they may remember my visit."

She searches for her and meets a queen. she then turns the queens baby into a demigod to thank her for her kindness when she was disguised as an old woman.

She meets Hecate, a witch who tells her it was Hades, so Demeter goes to Zues, who tells her that he can do nothing about it. Demeter flips out and nothing grows anywhere except the place where the queen helped Demeter. Mortals were dieing and the gods were becoming irritated. Zues finally caved and sent Hermes to get Persephone, right after she eats part of the pomegranate. He tells this to Zues and Demeter, who turns the gardener who gave her the pomegranate into a newt. they eventually come to the agreement of Persephone stays in the underworld for part of the year, which is believed to be winter when Demeter is in distress until her daughter returns and nothing grows. Sorry for the long answer, I probably added a lot of unnecessary stuff.
