~If you want a happy place in the afterlife....

Give me offerings of art and gold~

The beautiful daughter of Demeter and Zeus, Persephone is the focus of the story resulting in the division of the seasons, giving us the sweetness of Spring and the bitterness of Winter. Hades did not woo the beautiful Persephone, he abducted her and took her to his underground kingdom. After much protest, Persephone came to love the cold blooded king of the underworld but her mother, Demeter, was consumed with rage and sorrow. She demonstrated her anger by punishing the earths inhabitants with bitter cold and blustering winds. Unless Persephone was returned to her mothers side, the earth would perish.

Hermes was sent to the house of Hades by Zeus to reason with Hades. He entered the kingdom of Hades and negotiated a compromise between the (usually cold and selfish) Hades and the (usually loving and caring) Demeter. Before Persephone could leave the underworld, Hades gave her a pomegranate seed to eat. By doing this he bound her to himself and his kingdom. When Demeter found out about the trickery she was angry but she was also resigned that there was nothing she could do... her loving daughter was bound to the Lord of the Dead. With no alternative, it was agreed that Persephone would to spend part of the year with her husband, Hades, and part of the year in the sunlight with her mother, Demeter.

When Persephone is with Hades the earth is wracked by the sorrow of her mother. But, when Persephone returns from the underworld to walk the earth again, Demeter pours forth the blessings of Spring to welcome her beloved daughter home.

Jessalainya Report | 12/26/2008 2:58 pm: Your portraying Hades all wrong!! Hades asked Zeus if he could marry Persephone, and it was Zeus who suggested Hades kidnap Persephone because he knew Demeter would NEVER go along with it. Also, you didn't mention that Hades created a garden in the underworld just for her. (Yeah, I'm obsessed with their love story)

I don't know who is who anymore but you forgot Trivia. He was a god who was resentful of being forgotten.
Are you Rusty Peach or is that Aphrodite?
