1. FAQ/Q&A

“Why does she have Hades for a husband?”

She didn’t want this to happen. I mean, she adores the guy, but Hades kidnapped her first, and made her live in his Underworld palace. Look, that might seem cruel, but compared to what his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, did, he looks like a softie. Only then Persephone fall in love with him. ”Who was Persephone’s parents? Zeus and Demeter. You see, Zeus wasn’t married to Hera at that time, so he sought out for Demeter, since he had recently ate his last wife, Metis, and he was bored. And so he found Demeter doing her plant stuff and decided to ambush her. Demeter turned into a form of a snake to escape from him, but Zeus could also shapeshift, therefore he seduced her in a nearby snake hole. Demeter couldn’t get out, because the hole was too small and Zeus was blocking the exit, so later a very angry Demeter gave birth to Persephone, who became the joy of her life. ”How did Hades kidnap Persephone?” In some myths, Hades asked Zeus for permission to marry his daughter, Persephone, and Zeus told him to just kidnap her, because that was how Zeus did it. In this version of the myth, it was said Zeus made some flowers appear and led Persephone, who was picking the flowers, really far from town, until she was somewhere she didn’t know. Then Hades made the earth open, flew up from his chariot, grabbed Persephone, and went back in the Underworld. In other versions of the myth, it was said that Persephone spotted a beautiful flower and picked it, causing the earth to open and led to Hades’ kidnapping her.
