  she was seized by Hades and carried to the
  underworld as his bride. Her mother, Demeter,

  out that her husband Zeus conspired in
  Persephones abduction. She refused to let Earth
  fruit until her daughter was returned. However,
  due to the fact that Persephone tasted the food
  of Hades, she was forced to spend a part of the
  year with him.
