Demeter and Persephone
Deep in the cold underworld Hades expresses his love for Persephone the lovely young daughter of Demeter. Demeter the goddess of corn had a very beautiful daughter named Persephone, the goddess of spring and summer. Persephone was young and luscious, this caught Hades the god of the underworlds eye. Hades captured Persephone and dragged her to the underworld where he forced her to be his love. Persephone would not eat and food because she knew that if she did she would have to stay with Hades. Eventually she decides to eat a pomegranate seed so she is forced to live with him for a few months a year for the rest of her life.
