Hades didn't, but Eros caused Hades to love Persephone, and after affirming that this was okay with Zeus, Hades took her to be his wife (it was not told to Persephone or her mother Demeter that Hades would be her husband).
How did Hades and his wife get married?
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
What is Persephone's background story?
Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of harvest. One day, when Persephone went to the garden, along with her mother and her friends, she found a strange flower. She wanted it and tried to pull it out. When the flower came out, Hades, ruler of the Underworld, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the Underworld with him. Her friends saw what had happened, and so they ran to Demeter to tell her the story. Demeter was crushed. Whenever she walked by plants and crops, they all died and withered. Meanwhile, Persephone is in the Underworld with Hades. Hades explains to her why she was in the underworld. He wanted her to be his wife. Persephone was angry. She missed her mother and her home above. Hades offered her food, but Persephone refused. She was hungry, so she ate a seed of a pomegranate. Thunder clapped, and Zeus appeared. Zeus told Persephone that since she ate some Underworld fruit, she was to stay in the Underworld forever. Persephone was sad and pleaded to see her mother again. Zeus thought it over, and told Persephone that she would be able to see her mother every spring. Since it was spring, Zeus brought Persephone up to Earth and reunited with her mother. As soon as Persephone came up, all the plants, flowers and crops that Demeter killed were replaced with new, colorful and beautiful flowers and fresh crops and plants. Persephone told her mother the story about her capture, and Demeter was sad at first. But all she was happy about right then was to see her daughter once again. THE END.
