Persephone

Persephone, also called Kore, was an Isu,[1]revered as the Greek goddess of the underworld, springtime, flowers, and blooming. The wife of Hades, she ruled the realm of Elysium alongside her friend Hekate.[2]

In Athens, a statue featuring Persephone and her mother stood watch over the road leading from the acropolis to the Sanctuary of Eleusis.[3]
Once upon a time Hades, the Greek god of the underworld, stole Persephone to his kingdom with the intent to marry her.[3]
