... and just as I was thinking how awesome it would be to name a puppy Persephone— Yikes!

Her name was Kore as a young girl but then when married changed her name to Persephone, “bringer of destruction and death”...

So... some priests got together and said "We have to come up with a story that explains Autumn and Winter. How about if we say that the God of the Underworld kidnapped his niece and took her to the land of the dead? I think that'll work until the philosophers get around to developing Science."

Aaron Radney

This story is always fascinating to me because of all the different variations on the myth. I always, admittedly, prefer the version of this where Persephone is kind of in on it and is trying to get away from her overbearing mother.

I'm just going to say, Zeus doesn't exactly have a good track record when it comes to women. Hades getting his advice, not the greatest move... but then again, he didn't force himself on Persephone; Hades legit wanted her to like him so... better then Zeus is nothing else.
