What was Demeter's relationship with other gods?
She disliked Hades Demeter had a daughter with her brother Zeus (eww lol) Her daughters name was Persephone and Demeter loved her very much. One day the earth opened up and Hades, god of the underworld reached up and kidnapped Persephone. Demeter wondered around often looking for her, with no luck until one day a god that sees all told her what happened. Demeter asked Zeus, a brother of Hades, to return Persephone. When Zeus refused, Demeter withheld the harvest from man until Zeus relented. He agreed to allow Persephone's return if she had not eaten while with Hades. However, since Persephone had eaten 6 pomegranate seeds in the underworld, Zeus determined that she would spend 6 months with her mother and 6 months with Hades. This is the mythic origin of the six months of spring and summer when Persephone walks the earth with her mother and the 6 months of fall and winter when Persephone must return to the underworld. The pomegranate is still for many a potent symbol of death and renewal. The Elysian Mysteries were public celebrations of the myth of Demeter and Persephone
How did Hades fall in love with Persephone?
When Hades saw Persephone he thought she was beautiful and he asked Zeus for permission to make her the queen of the underworld. Persephone was Innocently picking flowers when Hades burst up through the ground, grabbed Persephone by the waist and pulled her down into the underworld. When Demeter was told by Helios the sun who sees all what had happened and Demeter morned for her daughter. Demeter sent word to Zeus that as long as her daughter was gone the earth would bare no fruit. Meanwhile Persephone did not eat anything out of spite towards her captor. People were dying due to starvation and eventually Zeus had to send Hermes to get Persephone back. When Persephone received this news she was so thrilled that she ate six (four, seven or eight depending on what version) pomegranate seeds. Having eaten in the underworld she was bound to the underworld (just one of the rules) so she spent six (four seven or eight depending on what version you read) months in the underworld and spent the rest with her mother. During the time Persephone is gone the earth is bare and fruitless (winter/fall) but the earth thrives when Persephone is with her mother (spring/summer).

What was the purpose Persephone's story?
Demeter's daughter, Persephone, was abducted by Hades to be his queen of the underworld. Demeter went looking for her and neglected her duties: to see crops grow. People and animals complained to Zeus, who asked Hades to give Persephone back. Hades told Zeus that Persephone had eaten while with him (if only a piece of a pomegranate) and so had her home in the underworld. But Hades agreed to a compromise: Persephone was to return to her mother for one half of the year. During this part of the year Demeter is happy, during the other halv she grieves and nothing grows on the earth. (You may find small variations of this story.)

What was a famous story of hades?
Once upon a time, Zeus and Demeter had a little daughter. Her name was Persephone. She was goddess of the flowers, and with her petal soft skin and stem-like limbs she did in every aspect look like one. One day, while she was walking in the woods, she spotted a bush she hadn't seen before. She decided she didn't like it and uprooted it, then turned away, searching for a flower to care for. Suddenly, a black chariot sprang from the hole, and a man wearing a crimson cape grabbed her and then retreated. Meanwhile, Demeter was searching for Persephone. She sees the hole, and a nearby bird tells her what had happened. She realizes with dread that her daughter had been kidnapped by none other than Hades, god of the underworld. Heartbroken, Demeter begins to weep, just as a little boy runs near her. He sees her weeping and, thinking it strange for an adult to be crying, begins to laugh. Demeter then pointed to him and turned him into a lizard, and a hawk grabs him and eats him. Demeter then returns to Zeus' throne room to petition for her daughter. But,alas, Hades had given him a new lightning bolt from his underworld forges. Zeus said," They're a fit match. If they do not marry, and Persephone does not eat a single bite of food, I will order Hades to return her." Persephone, the flower-child, is now stuck somewhere plants struggle to grow, and not a ray of sunlight can be seen. Hades has tried his best to woo her and tempt her to eat, but besides admiring him for his strength and his empire, she is cold to him and ignores him. One day she was tending the night plants with the servant Hades had given her, the soul of the boy turned into a lizard by Demeter. He was eating a pomegranate, Persephone's favorite fruit, and offered her some. She ate six seeds, when her brother Hermes came to fetch her. Zeus realized she had eaten and sentenced her to six months every year of living with Hades. During these six months, Demeter would be so heartbroken that no crops would grow, and for three months leaves would fall and during the other three it would snow. And that is why the seasons change.
Who told Demeter what had happened to her daughter?
Helios, the sun god. He sees everything happen and when Demeter goes to look for Persephone, Helios tells her what happened
