Persephone was walking one day in the beautiful gardens which her Mother created.
Hades, the God of the Underworld came above ground and saw her.
He immediately fell in love with her.
He kidnapped her and brought her down to the Underworld.
Her Mother found out and tried to get her back, but Persephone soon fell in love with Hades.
Hades agreed with Mother Nature that Persephone could live above ground with her Mother for six months and for the other six months live in the Underworld with him.
Everyone agreed.
Thus when Persephone is in the Underworld, her Mother is very upset and lonely and misses her daughter terribly.
When Persephone comes back for six months, her Mother is overjoyed and everything blooms and is warm and beautiful again.

I've read and heard a lot of different version of this story.
some say she really fell in love with him. some say she just had no choice.
i think ... people are just making a big fuss over their story because Hades is from the underworld ...think about it ..what if he's not? maybe it would be just another pretty story .. wouldn't it?
some pity Persephone because she was an 'innocent' little girl lured by the prince of the underworld. do they really think it went that way?
see, Persephone should've known better. Hades being the "prince of darkness" and all, she must've known that there's a catch. she must've known anything he'll offer her will come with a price.
did people just assume that she was lured,tricked,deceived because ...just because .... nah! ... never mind. ...
what if she liked it at first too? ... maybe she's gone tired of running on vast fields. maybe she was saturated with perfection ... maybe she thought she wanted more ... maybe she thought she needed a little excitement. ...
so she accepted his offer .. to be with him ... in his dark fortress. maybe she thought she could handle it. ... and later on realized that she couldn't.
