Who is Persephone the daughter of?

Answer 1

Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Demeter had her daughter kidnapped from her by Hades. Then Hermes helped her get her back and they later learns that her daughter had eaten the fruit of the dead (a pomegranate) which means she had to spend 6 months of every year being her Uncle Hades's wife. This story explains the seasons. Since Demeter is the Goddess of Grain and nature on Earth when her daughter is with her (summer and spring) the land is full of great grains and beautiful crops and fruit growth. When her daughter is away (winter and fall) she misses her daughter and the land is very bare. Eventually Persephone turned older and stayed down there full time and she is ironically called the Goddess of anti light even though Hades describes her as a glowing light and he has a realm in hell named after her which consists of the only spot of light in all of hell.
