Persephone was the daughter of Demeter and Zeus in Greek myth. Hades abducted her and took her to the underworld, but she was eventually allowed to return to the surface for part of the year. Her mother Demeter, in her grief neglected her duties and the earth became cold and barren, so Zeus allowed Persephone to come home for only 6 months of the year.
