Hades kidnapped Persephone to take her to the Underworld. He wanted her as his wife and Queen.
Hades at that time, was in love with Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of spring and harvest. Persephone at that time, was dancing and picking flowers, such and such where she was then pulled into the ground, and thus, into Hads or the Underworld.
It wasn't just her mother, her mother ran about trying to find her daughter. Demeter asked a youth named Triptolemus who said he saw his pigs disappear into the ground. At that moment, she knew Hades had taken her daughter. She rushed to Zeus and threatened that if he doesn't give her back, she will never ever again make the Earth green. Zeus commanded Hades to give her back. He gave her back, but she had to visit him some parts of the year. When the Earth is green, Persephone is with her mother, and when it's gloomy, Persephone is with Hades. So, pretty much, Zeus saved her. Thanks to the D'aulaires' Book of Greek Myths.
