She was Demeter's daughter and the goddess of flowers. She was married to Hades.

It's true. Persephone was a high-spirited, sunny girl. She was stolen by Hades to be his bride and her mother tried to get her back but she couldn't if Persephone had anything to eat and she had 4 pomegranate seeds. Because of this, Zeus made Persephone stay in the underworld with Hades for four months each year one month for each of the seeds she ate. During those four months Demeter (Goddess of the harvest) withdraws her gift of harvest and the earth is cold and barren. This is why we have winter.
