Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, a goddess of growing things, and Zeus had promised Hades for Persephone as a wife - he then took the maiden when she was grown, unknowing that neither Persephone or Demeter had not agreed to the marriage promised to him; Persephone became his wife and Queen of the Underworld either by choice or Hades tricking her when she ate of the food of the Underworld. Doing so ensured that she must every year return to the Underworld.

What Greek goddess was kidnapped and who kidnapped her?
One myth recounts the story of Demeter's daughter, Persephone, whose beauty had so empassioned Hades, the God of the Underworld, that he tore open the face of the earth, and rode his horses up through the chasm to snatch Persephone away and take her to the Underworld to be his wife and queen. Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, was so despondent at losing her daughter that the earth froze over, and he crops withered and died. Zeus, realizing that the earth could not survive if this were to continue, demanded Hades return Persephone to her mother. However, once a soul has consumed food while in the Underworld, their return to the earth is impossible. Hades, prior to surrendering Persephone, had tricked her into eating a number of pomegranate seeds. As a compromise, Persephone, although permitted to return to the surface and be reunited with her mother for the balance of the year, was required to sit as Goddess of the Underworld one month for every pomegranate seed she had consumed while with Hades. During Persephone's tenure in the Underworld, her mother, Demeter, languishes, causing the earth to experience its winter. Upon Persephone's return every year, Demeter's joy causes the earth to experience its spring and summer seasons.
