Hades tricks Persephone into remaining in the Underworld by offering her pomegranate seeds to eat. According to myth, once she consumes the seeds, she is bound to the Underworld, as eating food from the realm makes her a part of it. This act ultimately leads to her spending part of the year with Hades and part with her mother, Demeter, marking the changing seasons.

Persephone is the goddess of spring. Hades wanted to trick her into coming to the Underworld with him forever. Hades kidnapped her from her mother Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, and took her to the Underworld. If she ate anything there, she would be trapped there forever. Before Zeus sent Hermes to retrive her, Hades tricked Persephone into eating four or five pomegranate seeds. This allowed her to return to the Overworld, but in 4 or 5 months time, she would have to return the the Underworld. That is the connection between the Greek myths and the seasons.

Who is the greek goddess who lives under hell?
Persephone, the unwilling bride of Hades. (I'm assuming that's who you are asking about). She is the daughter of the Nature Goddess Demeter. One of my favorite Greek stories is the one on Persephone! Persephone was out in a field picking flowers in a field (Note, quick fact, a maiden picking flowers in a field is a sure sign of trouble in Greek Mythology). Hades saw her and her beauty, and reached up to grab her. He succeeded, and took her down to the underworld as his bride. Demeter searched the world for her lost daughter, and, in her grief, forgot to give Mankind the power of nature. all the crops died, and the human race was dieing. The other gods ordered Hades to give up Persephone, but Hades had other ideas. He offered Persephone a pomegranate, (a fruit), and she ate six seeds of it. This "gift" was actually a trick. Once you have eaten food of the underworld, you are not allowed to leave. But, (because Persephone was a goddess) and (because Demeter would have continued grieving) the gods made a deal. Persephone must remain with hades for six months of the year, one month for each seed she ate. This is supposedly the reason why we have summer and winter, because, when Persephone is with her mother, there is happiness and joy and warmth, and crops grow, giving us summer. But when Persephone returns to the underworld, to hades, Demeter weeps and grieves again, and all turns cold and sad, thus giving us fall and winter.

Hades, being a fair and just god, accepted his role in the underworld with grace and dignity. It's all just a part of the natural balance of the world.
