Who was Persephone's mother?

Answer 1

Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of plants. When Persephone was kidnapped by Hades, she stopped taking care of plants and the plants died. This became winter. Persephone was later returned but she had eaten some seeds. So she lived half of the year with her mother and the plants flourished. The other half of the year, she had to go back to Hades and Demeter would again stop caring for the plants.
