SEIZURE OF PERSEFONE
Being completely alone in the underworld, Hades kidnapped Persephone. She was placidly picking flowers for her mother Demeter at the time of her abduction. Unable to find her, her mother cast a curse on the earth which she would not raise until her daughter returned. Zeus to know the whereabouts of the young goddess, sent Hermes to convince Hades to free the girl. Thanks to his silver tongue, Hermes managed to convince Hades, but this would tend a trap to the goddess.
Giving him a grain of pomegranate that Perséfono ate with great taste because of its sweet taste was forced to return as he had consumed the underworld. In this way, the god married her and made her the goddess of the underworld. Zeus ordered the girl to live 6 months in the underworld with her husband and another 6 months on earth with her mother. Thus, Hades ceased to be a solitary god.
