I have one Question For Persephone and Demeter Who is Persephone's Father?
Demeter: I ... Rather not answer that question
Have you not even told your daughter who her father is
Demeter: ...... um well uh no
Persephone: That's right she never told me
Well that's hard
Persephone : Do you know ?
Uhhh um it's not my place to say Got To Go Bye!

1. Her virgin daughter PERSEPHONE was abducted by the god of the underworld, HADES, and Demeter endlessly searched for her, preoccupied with loss and grief. The seasons halted and living things stopped growing and died. At this point, ZEUS had to intervene and send his messenger HERMES to the underworld to bring Persephone back and prevent the extinction of all life on Earth.

2. Hades agreed to Persephone's relief but gave her a pomegranate as she left. When she ate the pomegranate seeds, she was bound to him for one third of the year, either the dry Mediterranean summer, when plant life is threatened by drought, or the autumn and winter.

3. Demeter and Persephone were also the central figures to the Eleusinian Mysteries – a series of large and secretive concerts held every five years. These mysteries represented the abduction of Persephone by Hades in three phases. The "descent" (loss), the "search" and the "ascent". The main theme is the "ascent" of Persephone and the reunion with her mother.

5. Her chief festival came at the harvest time. It began as a humble feast and over time morphed into a mysterious worship. This great festival occurred only every five years.

6. Metaneira, a mother herself, comforted Demeter in Persephone's absence. In fact, Demeter nursed one of Metaneira's children. She doted on the child and anointed him with ambrosia on a daily basis. Demeter's attachment to the child alarmed Metaneira, and the two ultimately went their separate ways.
