Which, in some versions of this story, this union is why there are seasons to begin with. When Persephone is with Demeter, Demeter is happy, and tends to her duties readily, and this act results in Spring and Summer. However, when Persephone is with Hades, Demeter is sad and downtrodden, and thus neglects her duties, and as a result, Fall and Winter occur.

that's probably because in Mycenean greece she appears to have been the ruler of the underworld, Hades didn't exist until later, like Aphrodite. Also Mycenean greece was much more death focused, with Poseiden being chief and Zeus being a minor deity. We don't have a real clear picture but it looks like Demeter and Persephone had some sort of yin/yang thing going on, death and rebirth

There's also the fact that when Persephone was brought to the underworld Hades courted her and treated her like a queen. He brought her home so that Demeter, the Goddess of Helicopter Moms, couldn't get in the way. After Persephone became queen, she was more feared than her husband, and Hades was faithful to her throughout their marriage. He didn't even complain when she got into a tiff with Aphrodite over who got to have the mortal pretty-boy Adonis and Persephone wanted Hades to side with her. Instead, he wisely said, "Nope, I'm not getting involved. I'm taking the dog and heading to the man-cave. And I'm not coming out until this whole thing blows over."

It's pretty sad that so many people are willing to demonize Demeter so that Hades can look better in comparison. I know this sounds like a stretch, but you can indeed have a healthy version of this ship without making Demeter an overcontroling shrewd. And you can definitely read the myth without insisting she's the bad guy for being upset her daughter was KIDNAPPED.

My interpretation of the story isn’t very popular but I don’t think Persephone ever really learned to love Hades, she learned to tolerate him, because that’s just how Ancient Greek women had to adapt. Everyone always sort of praises how ‘healthy’ it is and, wtf? He kidnapped her against her will. That’s sort of where that should end, you can’t really build a healthy relationship on that. I don’t know that’s just how I feel. Also Lore Olympus literally promotes predatory behavior please don’t read it.

I despise lore olympus and the modern interpretations that demonize a mother, girlboss a daughter and emo soften hades. Trashy dime novella wattpad level of writing.
Persephone story was originally meant to portray how daughters used to be taken away from their mothers to be in a forced marriages (this happened a lot back then.) Although I don’t mind when modern interpretations take old myths and make it relate to todays time, I think it really undermines Persephone and Demeter’s story when people portray Persephone as someone who willingly went with Hades and Demeter as just an overbearing mother. Also, for some reason people see Persephone as just some innocent spring goddess but she isn’t. She was scary and many people feared her more than Hades himself so I’m not sure how people even got that idea.

in comparison to the amount of incest that was taking place in the Olympian myths, an uncle and niece actually isn't that bad. Persephone herself is the product of brother and sister, and her father sexually assaulted her as well.
Interesting animation...
Aaa yes the love story of a man who was brainwashed by cupid to love persephone, kidnap her and force her to stay in the underground. Leaving the mother depressed and lonely to have to make a deal with zeus to only get a visit two seasons. This is somehow a better relationship than most love stories in Greek myths.
Lore Olympus fans : we took that personally .
There are a lot of debates whether which version did Persephone did enter the Underworld, but we still didn’t know which one is the original. I understand why some people hated the idea of Persephone entering the Underworld is because of Twilight, but if Hades is portrayed as a nice quirky guy instead of a bad boy, I’m buying it.

I believe the one where she is taken as I think that’s the oldest version which is why I dislike Hades and feel so bad for her Mother. She had been turned into an overprotective mother in modern times when she was just a mother distressed.
Fun fact: The "kidnapping" part is actually a theme in most ancient Greek marriages. The groom would "kidnap" the bride from her home and bring her to his and the would party at his house. So really Hades didn't kidnap her, that's just how they got married.

It was a niche marriage custom of an island near Sparta. The myth of the abduction of Persephone is way older than that tradition and it doesn't even take place close to there. Some scholars and historians have proposed that there could be a link but nothing is confirmed. And also in the Homeric hymn to Demeter its stated that the kidnapping was a plan made by Zeus, Hades and Gaia to get Persephone to the underworld and not a marriage rutual

There is actually a good argument that "Dread Persophene" always was the true Queen of the Underworld. In a "don't speak her name, or your draw attention" kinda of way. And Hades is a later invention. So this whole marriage might be mostly about explaining spring, with a side dish of explaining all the old myths where only Persephone was mentioned as being in the Underworld.

I dont feel like reading lore Olympus after seeing the description
Hades is the best god. Man is loyal and willing to compromise
Hiiii so my name is actually Persephone just spelled a little different (Persephany) And I want to know if anyone else has the same name! Edit: Idk wether this story is wrong but when I heard the story, Persephone was kidnapped by Hades in order for her to be his wife. She soon became the goddess of hell but never even wanted the marriage anyway. In the spring time she was allowed to exit hell in order to bring alive spring (since she is the goddess of spring). After spring she was forced back in hell.

The underworld, not Hell. And yes, that is the correct story
