Persephone, the Greek goddess of spring and queen of the underworld, was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. She is best known for her abduction by Hades, who made her his queen. This event led to the changing of the seasons, as her mother Demeter caused the earth to become barren during the months Persephone spent in the underworld, marking winter. Persephone's dual role as both the goddess of fertility and the underworld highlights her connection to life, death, and rebirth. She has appeared in live-action media such as *Clash of the Titans* (1981), *Hercules: The Legendary Journeys* (1995-1999), *Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief* (2010), *The Immortals* (2011), and *Blood of Zeus* (2020).
