When Persephone was abducted by Hades, what happened to Demeter?
assistant
Persephone was abducted by Hades, and Demeter mourned for her daughter. The abduction was a punishment for Persephone eating six pomegranate seeds, which were sacred to Demeter. The goddesses were reunited when Persephone returned to the earth, but she had to spend six months each year in the underworld.
