A major idea of Greek belief was that in the Eleusinian Mysteries, these believers when they die are granted entrance into the Elysian paradise sit aside for them in the Underworld. This religion was a part of the worship of Demeter, who's daughter was Persephone.

How old was hecate when she became a goddess?

Hecate is considered a triple goddess in that she has three aspects--maiden, mother, and crone. Most Greek deities were not real people who became deified, in contrast to the Roman tradition of deifying prominent figures such as Augustus, but rather existing deities of indigenous peoples (ie, Medusa, who was originally a mother goddess) or personifications of ideas (ie, Nike, goddess of victory). Hecate was more likely one of the former and was closely identified with Demeter (mother) and Persephone (maiden).


Who is the greek goddess who lives under hell?

Persephone, the unwilling bride of Hades. (I'm assuming that's who you are asking about). She is the daughter of the Nature Goddess Demeter. One of my favorite Greek stories is the one on Persephone! Persephone was out in a field picking flowers in a field (Note, quick fact, a maiden picking flowers in a field is a sure sign of trouble in Greek Mythology). Hades saw her and her beauty, and reached up to grab her. He succeeded, and took her down to the underworld as his bride. Demeter searched the world for her lost daughter, and, in her grief, forgot to give Mankind the power of nature. all the crops died, and the human race was dieing. The other gods ordered Hades to give up Persephone, but Hades had other ideas. He offered Persephone a pomegranate, (a fruit), and she ate six seeds of it. This "gift" was actually a trick. Once you have eaten food of the underworld, you are not allowed to leave. But, (because Persephone was a goddess) and (because Demeter would have continued grieving) the gods made a deal. Persephone must remain with hades for six months of the year, one month for each seed she ate. This is supposedly the reason why we have summer and winter, because, when Persephone is with her mother, there is happiness and joy and warmth, and crops grow, giving us summer. But when Persephone returns to the underworld, to hades, Demeter weeps and grieves again, and all turns cold and sad, thus giving us fall and winter.
