"Desponia, Fille De Demeter Et Poseidon" is an 18th-century opera by the Italian composer and librettist Domenico Mondo. The title translates to "Despoina, Daughter of Demeter and Poseidon" from French. The opera is a classical composition that delves into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology, focusing on the lesser-known figure of Despoina, a deity whose parentage is attributed to the Olympian gods Demeter and Poseidon. This work is part of the operatic tradition that explores mythological themes, offering audiences a blend of dramatic narrative, emotional expression, and musical complexity.

Domenico Mondo, known for his contributions to the Neapolitan school of opera, composed both the music and the libretto for this opera. The exact date of the opera's premiere is not well-documented, but Mondo's active period as a composer suggests that it was likely written and performed in the mid-to-late 18th century, a time when opera seria was a dominant form in Italian opera houses.

The opera's narrative likely follows the story of Despoina, whose mythological accounts are relatively obscure compared to those of her more famous relatives. In Greek mythology, Despoina is associated with the Eleusinian Mysteries and is considered a goddess of the underworld and fertility, reflecting the domains of her parents. The opera would have provided an opportunity for Mondo to explore the themes of divine relationships, power, and the natural world, set to the backdrop of his characteristic musical style, which would have included elaborate arias and recitatives.

As with many operas of the era, "Desponia, Fille De Demeter Et Poseidon" would have been performed by a cast of classically trained singers accompanied by an orchestra, with the staging and costumes designed to evoke the grandeur and mystique of ancient Greece. However, the survival of the score, documentation of performances, and critical reception of this specific opera are not readily available in public records. As such, the opera's impact on the musical world and its place in Mondo's oeuvre remain largely speculative, awaiting further research and discovery by music historians.
