She didn't. Hades kidnapped her and took her to the underworld.
I guess Hades thought she was beautiful and he wanted her for himself.
The first time she saw Hades she was afraid of him and very upset, since he abducted her. Zeus promised Hades that Persephone would be his wife, but neglected to tell either Persephone or Demeter of this.
Demeter did. Persephone's mother, Demeter, heard the cry of Persephone while she was being carried away by Hades. Hades was the lord of the dead, and carried her to the Underworld.
Hades did, he gave it to her. Um.. Im not sure who answered this but i am going 2 improve your answer. Yes, Hades did see Persephone eat the Pomegranate seeds. But it was the gardener who chuckled when Persephone ate them. So yeah=]
Her husband Hades, and her mother Demeter.
Hades' wife Persephone was tricked into marrying him. When she fell into a hole that led to the underworld, she remembered what her mother (Demeter, goddess of agriculture) had told her; never eat anything in the underworld. When Demeter couldn't find her daughter, she was crestfallen and depressed, searching for Persephone each day. Finally after a few months, Hades hated to see Persephone look so sad, so he offered her a deal; if she ate 3 - 4 pomegranate seeds, he would let her go. Forgetting what her mother told her, Persephone agreed to the deal. When Hades let Persephone out of the underworld, Demeter was rejoicing with glee until Persephone told her about the seeds. Demeter immediately changed from happiness to sadness, because since Persephone ate the 4 seeds, she would have to live as Hades' wife in the underworld for 4 months. This Greek tale explains why we have the season of winter. Hope this helped! ~Max
In Greek myth, you visit the Underworld, which is usually done by dying.
The myth of Persephone is tied into the story of both Hades and Zeus. Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and is kidnapped by Hades. She managed to negotiate spending some time on Earth so she could see her mother. The myth is used to explain the changing of seasons.
Yes, Persephone returned to the surface of Earth every spring and was greeted by her mother Demeter at that time. Every fall/august they parted.
Zeus promised Hades that he could be Persephone's husband. However, Demeter (her mom) and Peresphone were unaware of this. Thus, Hades captured Peresphone and made her his bride. They made an agreement that only half a year, Demeter would be able to see Peresphone.
The daughter of Zeus and Demeter, who was abducted by Hades and forced to be his wife. She ate 6 pomegranate seeds, so 6 months ever year she is in the Underworld, and the other half with her mother.
Yes, there are statues of Hades still standing today; the most popular would be by the artist Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It features Hades gathering up Persephone to take her to the Underworld. See the links below for a photo.
