Best Answer

Hades, the god of the underworld did. When she was gone, her mother Demeter who was the goddess of growth mourned and went lookong for Persephone, and nothong could grow. And animals and people starved and complained to the gods. So Zeus persuaded Hades to let Persephone go back to her mother for half the year. That is why plants grow best during one half of the year, but in the winter they do not.

This explained winter. During summer and spring, demeter and Persephone were re-united, so flowers bloomed on earth again, and the people's crops were revived.

Hades stole Persephone. Aphrodite and her child took pity on Hades, shot him with an arrow of love, and left. Hades, now entranced in a love spell, found Persephone and took her against her own will to the underworld. It is said that if you eat fruit of the underworld, you stay there forever. Persephone ate a pomegranate and Hades claimed her as his wife.

(She's supposedly taken back to the underworld during the winter time, hence Demeter, goddess of the seasons, etc., being sad once more and letting the season of winter go cold and unable to grow things.)
