What Greek goddess was kidnapped and who kidnapped her?

One myth recounts the story of Demeter's daughter, Persephone, whose beauty had so empassioned Hades, the God of the Underworld, that he tore open the face of the earth, and rode his horses up through the chasm to snatch Persephone away and take her to the Underworld to be his wife and queen. Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, was so despondent at losing her daughter that the earth froze over, and he crops withered and died. Zeus, realizing that the earth could not survive if this were to continue, demanded Hades return Persephone to her mother. However, once a soul has consumed food while in the Underworld, their return to the earth is impossible. Hades, prior to surrendering Persephone, had tricked her into eating a number of pomegranate seeds. As a compromise, Persephone, although permitted to return to the surface and be reunited with her mother for the balance of the year, was required to sit as Goddess of the Underworld one month for every pomegranate seed she had consumed while with Hades. During Persephone's tenure in the Underworld, her mother, Demeter, languishes, causing the earth to experience its winter. Upon Persephone's return every year, Demeter's joy causes the earth to experience its spring and summer seasons.


Why do you need a gold coin to get into hades?

Because if you have no money to pay the ferryman, Charon, he will not row you across the river Styx and you will have to wander the shores of the river for one hundred years. This is also true for people whose bodies are left unburied.


What was the Roman name for Persephone?

Proserpina (sometimes spelt Proserpine,Prosperine or Prosperina) is an ancient Roman goddess whose story is the basis of a myth of Springtime. Her Greek goddess' equivalent is Persephone. The probable origin of her name comes from the Latin, "proserpere" or "to emerge," in respect to the growing of grain. Proserpina was subsumed by the cult of Libera, an ancient fertility goddess, wife of Liber and is also considered a life-death-rebirth deity.She was the daughter of Ceres, goddess of agriculture and crops and Jupiter, the god of sky and thunder.

Why did Persephone have to stay in the underworld?

Persephone is the daughter of Demeter and she is the goddess of the corn, wheat and all things that grow on the land. Demeter controls the growth of everything that becomes our food and the food of all animals and she was an amazingly powerful goddess, her cult was mainly amongst women and still today she is remembered under many names by the pagan witches and those who follow the old paths. But back to Persephone. Persephone is the young daughter of Demeter, it is said that within her eyes can be seen the flight of beautiful birds, her hair is shinning and wonderful, she is the maid for ever young, forever beautiful. It is for this reason that she was kidnapped one day by Hades, the lord of the underworld and the brother of the chief of all gods and men Zeus. Now Hades stole her and carried her down into the earth where he looked after her and showered her with love. She became his queen. In the meantime Demeter (Persephone's mother and the goddess of the wheat, searched high and low for her daughter but could not find her. In her sorrow she forgot the land and the world became cold and the crops failed. Flowers died and people starved. If it was not for Zeus the whole race would have died, he alone new that Persephone had been taken to the underworld. In the end Demeter held Zeus to ransom and vowed that she would allow the world to perish unless Persephone was given back. In the end Zeus intervened and Persephone returned from the underworld and was reunited with Demeter. Hades however is a crafty God and he encouraged Persephone to eat the seeds of a pomegranate from the underworld. This act meant that for six months of the year Persephone has to return back to Hades and her mother Demeter once again grieves and the land becomes barren. When Persephone returns the spring finally breaks once more and the sun whines and the crops ripen. Even today it is hard to decide if the return of the spring is not the return of a beautiful maiden, one whose eyes reflect blue Sky's and delicate birds and who is scented with the delicate fragrance of wild flowers and who is reunited with the mother of the crops so that we may all live another year under the warmth of the sun. May the gods be blessed!
