Interesting Story Zeus shot one of his arrows into Hades, causing him to fall in love with the

first person he saw. The reason it did that was because his arrows were dipped in a love potion. The first person that Hades happened to see was Persephone. Hades being in love with Persephone made him want to be with her, and have her all to himself. One day when Persephone was picking flowers, Hades opened up the very earth and abducted her. Everything would have gone fine, although, when Persephone’s mother found out, she was very unhappy. Once her mother, Dementer, realized her daughter was missing, she set out an intensive search to find her.
