Best Answer

Hades stole Persephone.

Aphrodite and her child took pity on Hades, shot him with an arrow of love, and left. Hades, now entranced in a love spell, found Persephone and took her against her own will to the underworld. It is said that if you eat fruit of the underworld, you stay there forever. Persephone ate a pomegranate and Hades claimed her as his wife. Fortunately for Persephone, she only ate 1/4 of the fruit and when the distraught Demeter, Persephone's mother, finally found her, Persephone was allowed to visit the normal world again but for only 3/4 of the year. (She's supposedly taken back to the underworld during the winter time, hence Demeter, goddess of the seasons, etc., being sad once more and letting the season of winter go cold and unable to grow things.)
