    Hey now my myths site might be actually relevant here:

    <<The story of the abduction of Persephone is a touching explanation for
    the harshness of Winter and the sweetness of Spring. Hades was so
    overwhelmed by Persephone’s sweet charms that, instead of wooing her, he
    abducted her against her will and dragged her to The Underworld.
             He and Zeus had plotted to abduct the young girl away in secret
    but their plans were foiled when Helios saw the evil act and told
    Demeter the fate of her missing child. Persephone was helpless against
    the wiles of Zeus and remained the unwilling captive of Hades. After
    several years Demeter found a way to force Zeus’ hand and free her
    daughter.>>
