Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of harvest. One day, when Persephone went to the garden, along with her mother and her friends, she found a strange flower. She wanted it and tried to pull it out. When the flower came out, Hades, ruler of the Underworld, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the Underworld with him. Her friends saw what had happened, and so they ran to Demeter to tell her the story. Demeter was crushed. Whenever she walked by plants and crops, they all died and withered. Meanwhile, Persephone is in the Underworld with Hades. Hades explains to her why she was in the underworld. He wanted her to be his wife. Persephone was angry. She missed her mother and her home above. Hades offered her food, but Persephone refused. She was hungry, so she ate a seed of a pomegranate. Thunder clapped, and Zeus appeared. Zeus told Persephone that since she ate some Underworld fruit, she was to stay in the Underworld forever. Persephone was sad and pleaded to see her mother again. Zeus thought it over, and told Persephone that she would be able to see her mother every spring. Since it was spring, Zeus brought Persephone up to Earth and reunited with her mother. As soon as Persephone came up, all the plants, flowers and crops that Demeter killed were replaced with new, colorful and beautiful flowers and fresh crops and plants. Persephone told her mother the story about her capture, and Demeter was sad at first. But all she was happy about right then was to see her daughter once again. THE END.

Do you have storys about Persephone?
Well of course I do! The first story I can think of is the story of how she became the Queen of the Underworld. (sounds terrible, doesn't it?) Some info you should know first- Persephone's mom is Demeter Husband is Hades Father is Zeus Persephone is the goddess of spring the goddess of innocence the Queen of the Underworld Here's the simplified version: Persephone was picking flowers in a meadow and the ground opened up. Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, grabbed her and pulled her down to the Underworld with him. Hades had been watching Persephone for some time and thought she was perfect for his Queen. Demeter went into a great depression. Her daughter was missing. All the crops for the mortals were dead. (this is also the story of the seasons... [winter now]) Demeter pleaded for Zeus to bring her back. But in the Underworld, Persephone was at a feast. She knew if she ate ANYTHING, she would be trapped there forever. So when Hades offered her a pomegranate, she sucked on the seeds and spat them out. Back on Mt. Olympus, Zeus came up with an idea. He bargained with Hades, and they came up with a plan- Persephone would be with Hades for so many months, then in the spring, she would return and Demeter would grow the crops for the humans. The End??
