Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, when Hades obtained the permission of Zeus, he took Persephone below to the Underworld without her permission or her mothers: Persephone further ate of the pomegranate seeds and this tied her to the Underworld, Zeus then decreed that for half the year Persephone would dwell in the Underworld with Hades, and the other half with her mother Demeter on the earth.
