What was some of minor god Persephone's uniqueness?

Answer 1

She was the Greek's explanation for seasons. She was taken by Hades to his realm of the underworld, and Hades tried enticing her to become his wife. However, her mother, Demeter, asked Zeus to intervene. Zeus agreed to command Hades to return Persephone; on the condition that she had eaten nothing of the Underworld. Demeter received her daughter back, only to find that Persephone had eaten Pomogranite seeds in the Underworld. Zeus negotiated a compromise between Hades and Demeter. Persephone was to become Hades' wife, but she was allowed a half of the year with her mother, Demeter. So, she was to spend 6 months in the Underworld and 6 months on the surface of the earth. The seasons thing comes in at this point. Demeter becomes lonely and sad when at her daughter's annual leave and causes the natural world to lie dormant. Fall and Winter. When Persephone returns, Demeter rejoices and the plant begin to grow again. Spring and Summer. In the Underworld, Persephone was thought to influence Hades' judgement of the dead.
