Does Hades like the underworld?

What are Persephone's and Hades' similarities?

Zeus is the brother of Hades. Zeus is the brother of Demeter. Demeter is the sister of both Hades and Zeus. Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter: making her uncle Hades. Persephone is a goddess of Spring who became Queen of the Underworld. Hades is a god of the unseen who became King of the Underworld and the riches of the earth. They are then both earth gods/goddesses, and related to each other as well as being the rulers of the Underworld.


What does the myth of Persephone explain?

Persephone is the only daughter of Demeter (Ceres) the Goddess of the Harvest and Zeus. Hades, god of the underworld, loved Persephone's beauty and kidnapped her and brought her to the underworld. When Zeus had discovered what Hades had done, he sent Hermes to the underworld demanding Persephone were released. Hades obliged but insisted the Persephone eat a pomegranate seed before he left. Thinking nothing of it, she agreed not knowing it would force her to stay in the underworld. Zeus and Demeter were furious so they struck a deal with Hades letting her live half the year above the surface ans spend half of it below, with Hades. Whenever Persephone has to retreat back to the underworld, Demeter gets horribly depressed and refuses to let anything grow, hence fall and winter, and when she is back, Demeter is happy and spring and summer flourish.


Who is Persephone husbang and how did she come to be with hem?

Persephone's husband is Hades, and with her father Zeus' permission, but not her own or her mothers, she was taken by Hades to the Underworld to be his wife, where she ate of the pomegranate and could then only return to earth to be with her mother for half a year, spending the latter half with Hades in the Underworld.
