So she asked Zeus to get Persephone back for her, so Zeus sent Hermes to the underworld to retrieve Persephone. When he told Hades about Zeus's order, Hades then said to take her, but before she left he gave her a pomegranate to eat. He ended up tricking her because for the number of seed she ate she would stay in the underworld with Hades for that number of months and the rest of the months she would go back to her mother. That is why when Persephone is in the underworld, her mother weeps and nothing grows, but when she comes to her mother at home her mother is happy and everything is bountiful and grows. Just like winter and summer.
How was orpheus determined to get eurydice back?
He vowed to get her back and in so doing, went down to the underworld. He was an excellent lyre player and was worthy of the muses. Supposedly his playing could make rocks cry (from joy, not pain!) He played his lyre for Hades and Hades was moved enough to agree to let Orpheus take his beloved Eurydice back above ground-with one little catch. Orpheus could not look back as he exited the Underworld to look at Eurydice or else she would remain forever in the Underworld. Joyfully, he led Eurydice to the entrance of the Underworld, but right before he came above ground, he looked back at Eurydice. She was forced to remain in the Underworld and Orpheus later died. (I know it had to do something with female wood-somethings attacking him, but I don't remember...)
