How did hades and Persephone become a couple?

Hades asked his brother Zeus if he could have Persephone for his bride, to this Zeus agreed without consulting Demeter or Persephone - Hades than took her, and Demeter showed her wrath until she got her daughter back, except Persephone had eaten of the pomegranate and had to return to Hades for half the year, this causes Demeter to make the land cold and barren (i.e. winter). Persephone return brings about spring.


Who was Persephones husband and how did she come to be with him?

Hades is Persephone's husband. Persephone was promised to Hades as his bride, by her father Zeus. But Zeus neglected to inform both Persephone and her mother Demeter of this arrangement. It was Greek tradition for the husband to claim his new bride and carry her away to live at his home.. so this is exactly what Hades did. He burst forth from the Underworld to claim Persephone; but to Persephone she had no idea what was happening and it turned into an abduction. She was horribly upset for quite some time, but I do believe she warmed up to him after a while and has come to love him as her husband.


Why did Hades kindnap Persephone?

Zeus had promised Hades his daughter Persephone as his wife, Zeus neglected to mention this to Persephone and her mother Demeter; Hades had created a flower for Persephone, and Persephone and her maiden goddess companions found it in exploring a field of flowers, Persephone plucked the flower and Hades thought this a acceptance of his love for her, and took her to his realm where he found out he had kidnapped Persephone (who in some myths isn't at all opposed to being Hades' Queen) and when Demeter ventured into the underworld Hades greeted her and said Persephone was allowed to return if she had not eaten of the food of the underworld - she had, so she spent the winter with Hades and in rest of the year with her mother; it goes differently how long exactly, but winter is the return of the sorrow of Demeter having lost her daughter.


Why did hades first agree to return eurydice to orpheus?

Hades initially agreed to return Eurydice to Orpheus as a test of Orpheus's love and faith. He was intrigued by Orpheus's extraordinary musical talent, which had the power to move even the hearts of the dead. By allowing Orpheus to retrieve Eurydice, Hades sought to see if Orpheus would trust in the conditions set forth and not look back at her until they reached the surface. This agreement reflects the themes of trust, love, and the trials that often accompany them in mythology.

What were some of Persephones accomplishments?

All I recall is when Persephone was kidnapped by Hades; Demeter (her mother) and Zeus (her father) demanded that Hades return her. However, she ate a pomegranate (or four seeds, the legend varies), and because of this she had to stay in the Underworld for three months out of the year. Demeter, the Goddess of All Living Things, was said to bring about winter and stop all plant growth during Persephone's time with Hades out of grief. Spring was said to be Demeter rejoicing at Persephone's return. Also, Hades claimed Persephone was his wife and his Queen of Tartarus. Queen of the Underworld and goddess of Spring; she also ruled over the Furies and heroes who went to the Underworld sought her favor.
