In Greek myth, Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. She is the goddess of harvest and fertility, and, like most fertility goddesses, she was breathtaking. Demeter was protective of her only daughter and kept her away from men, but Hades, the god of the Underworld, was persistent in winning her affection ever since he saw her in a meadow picking wildflowers. Hades gave her a pomegranate as a gift and Persephone ate of the fruit, which, according to Greek myth, bound her to him. She then becomes the queen of the Underworld. Demeter is not pleased with Hades having kidnapped Persephone, so they strike a bargain that she will spend six months above ground and six months in the Underworld.
