its called a myth.
Persephone is called both the goddess of spring for her yearly return to Earth/Demeter, and Queen of the Underworld as being the wife of Hades.
To take Persephone, daughter of Demeter and Zeus, to the Underworld as wife.
If you are referring to the story where Persephone, daughter of Demeter( the goddess of the harvest) is kidnapped by Hades, I believe it is called "The Seven Pomegranate Seeds" referring to the pomegranate seeds Persephone eats in the Underworld
In The Odyssey, Persephone did not play a direct role as she is a character from Greek mythology associated with the underworld. She is the queen of the underworld and the wife of Hades. Her story is not specifically mentioned in The Odyssey.
Hades abducted Persephone, Demeter her mother went in search of her and her duties were neglected and humans started to starve, then Demeter learned where Persephone was and demanded her daughter back and Zeus agreed so long as Persephone had not eaten or drank anything while in the Underworld, but she had; so Persephone spends half the year above the earth with her mother and half below with Hades her husband.
The most well recognized story of Persephone today is her abduction from the Earth (her mother/life, Demeter) by Hades (her husband, King of the Underworld/death).
In Greek mythology, Demeter is the goddess of harvest. Her daughter is Persephone. Hades is the god of the underworld and he kidnapped Persephone. To make a long story short, there was an agreement made between Hades and Demeter to share Persephone. When Persephone is with Hades, Demeter is so sad that nothing will grow and that is why winter happens.
The story of Persephone explains the changing seasons. When Persephone is in the underworld with Hades, her mother Demeter mourns, causing winter. When Persephone returns to the surface, Demeter rejoices, bringing spring and summer.
There are many stories about Hades. One is when he takes Persephone to the underworld, or Hades. He makes her eat a pomegranate and eventually makes her stay during one season, or four months.
The story of Persephone showcases the characteristic of explaining natural phenomena, as her abduction by Hades and time spent in the underworld is used to explain the changing of the seasons. It also demonstrates the theme of transformation, as Persephone transitions from a maiden to a queen of the underworld.
The rape of Persephone--she is Demeter's daughter. Hades carried her off and forced her to live with him as his wife for half of the year.
She was said to be cold-hearted in the Underworld. She was known to have only one child, her daughter, Mellinoe, goddess of ghosts, to Zeus in Hades' guise. Phsyche was told by Aphrodite to go to the Underworld with a box and ask Persephone for a portion of her beauty.I'm not sure what your idea of fun facts are, so I'll let you read and decide.Persephone is the Greek goddess of fertility and spring, and she later on became Queen of the Underworld. Her symbol is the sheath of grain. There is, of course, that famous story that includes Persephone's abduction by the hands of her uncle Hades, and the interlinked story about the seasons. For six months (some say three) Persephone lives with her husband in the Underworld and Demeter mourns. Then for six months (nine for the other versions) Persephone is the goddess of springtime. She played an active role in the story of Orpheus and Eurydice. When Orpheus came to the Underworld to beg for his deceased wife, it was Persephone who convinced Hades to release Eurydice on the conditions that were obviously not met by Orpheus.The Roman counterpart of Persephone is Proserpina.Queen of Hades/UnderworldWife of HadesGoddess of SpringDaughter of DemeterDaughter of ZeusQueen of Hades/UnderworldWife of HadesGoddess of SpringDaughter of DemeterDaughter of Zeus
