Persephone (Proserpina)

Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, goddess of harvest. One day, when Persephone went to the garden, along with her mother and her friends, she found a strange flower. She wanted it and tried to pull it out. When the flower came out, Hades, ruler of the Underworld, grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the Underworld with him. Her friends saw what had happened, and so they ran to Demeter to tell her the story. Demeter was crushed. Whenever she walked by plants and crops, they all died and withered. Meanwhile, Persephone is in the Underworld with Hades. Hades explains to her why she was in the underworld. He wanted her to be his wife. Persephone was angry. She missed her mother and her home above. Hades offered her food, but Persephone refused. She was hungry, so she ate a seed of a pomegranate. Thunder clapped, and Zeus appeared. Zeus told Persephone that since she ate some Underworld fruit, she was to stay in the Underworld forever. Persephone was sad and pleaded to see her mother again. Zeus thought it over, and told Persephone that she would be able to see her mother every spring. Since it was spring, Zeus brought Persephone up to Earth and reunited with her mother. As soon as Persephone came up, all the plants, flowers and crops that Demeter killed were replaced with new, colorful and beautiful flowers and fresh crops and plants. Persephone told her mother the story about her capture, and Demeter was sad at first. But all she was happy about right then was to see her daughter once again. THE END.

Persephone was kidnapped by Hades to wed, as Hades had gotten permission from Zeus, but neither Persephone nor Demeter knew of his intent prior to Persephone's abduction.
