Read the text below to answer the question! The Myth of Persephone and Hades Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of harvest, was picking flowers one day when she was suddenly kidnapped by Hades, the god of the Underworld. He took her to his dark and dreary realm, where he made her his queen. Persephone’s mother, Demeter, was devastated by her daughter's disappearance and searched the Earth for her. Unable to find Persephone, Demeter stopped the crops from growing, causing a great famine on Earth. Eventually, Zeus, the king of the gods, intervened and sent Hermes to the Underworld to bring Persephone back. However, before Persephone left, Hades tricked her into eating six pomegranate seeds.
