Once there was a young woman named Persephone, 

the daughter of Zeus. Zeus's brother Hades was 

looking for a wife and fell in love with Persephone. 

Hades took her to the underworld wanting to make 

her his wife.

Hades gave 

Persephone some 

pomegranate 

seeds while down 

in the Underworld

,this meant that 

Persephone had 

to go back. 

When Persephone was gone 

from home though, her 

mother(Demeter) made sure 

that no plants grew. This 

meant that the people didn't 

have food. Therefore Zeus 

thought that Persephone 

should come home. Zeus 

decided that Persephone 

would be in the underworld 

for 1/3 of the year and 2/3s 

of the year above. There was 

one condition- she could not 

have had anything to eat or 

drink while she was in the 

Underworld. 

This arrangement was going quite well for a while 

though Zeus could tell that his daughter was not 

happy. Apparently neither was Hades....

Hades was unhappy still. He only got to be with 

the love of his life for three months out of the 

year. He wanted her for longer than that. So he 

challenged Zeus to a duel. The winner gets 

Persephone forever.

Zeus came 

storming into the 

underworld with his 

powerful lightning 

bolt, ready to get 

his daughter back 

permanently.  

Hades was ready 

though too. With 

his three-headed 

dog in the 

shadows, Zeus 

wouldn't know until 

it was too late.

Their fight rang throughout the whole 

underworld. Then, there was a flash of light. 

Hades had used his two-pronged fork to knock 

the bolt right out of Zeus's hand.

Then Hades whistled... Before Zeus could 

react, Cerberus came out of the shadows and 

leaped onto Zeus
