She lived with Hades (Pluto) in the Underworld as his wife. He captured her and took her there. When she was found, Zeus ordered her to be let go and brought back. As she was leaving Hades made her eat a pomegranate seed which would somehow make her have to stay with him for 4 months (I believe) out of every year.
