She was kidnapped by Pluto, king of the Underworld, and forced to become his wife. Her mother was Ceres, goddess of harvest and agriculture, and as she looked for her missing daughter, she forgot about the land, which began to wither. So the gods sent Mercury to help her. They went deep into the Underworld, only to find that Proserpine had eaten 6 pomegranate seeds and for every seed she had to stay a month in the Underworld every year. Thus was born Summer and Winter.
