In Greek mythology, Persephone (/pərˈsɛfəniː/) in modern English—also called Kore)
is the daughter of Zeus and the harvest goddess Demeter,
and queen of the underworld;
she was abducted by Hades, the king of the underworld.
The myth of her abduction represents her function
as the personification of vegetation which shoots forth in spring and withdraws into the earth after harvest;
hence she is also associated with spring
and with the seeds of the fruits of the fields.
Persephone as a vegetation goddess (Kore)
and her mother Demeter were the central figures of the Eleusinian mysteries that predated the Olympian pantheon.
