As Hades wanted to get married, he abducted Persephone, daughter of the goddess of the nature, Demeter, while she was gathering some flowers together with the Nymphs. Unexpectedly the earth opened, and the chariot, pulled by the black horses where the tenebrous god was, jumped out from the abyss. Poseidon dragged Persephone with him and proclaimed her the Queen of the Darkness. Demeter looked for her everywhere without finding her, until the Sun which can see everything revealed her what had happened and told her that Zeus agreed with Poseidon. For this reason, Demeter got angry and decided to be no more interested in nature: plants and seeds dried up and the earth became desolate and full of snow.
