Persephone was abducted by Hades and forced to be his wife
- Depending on the version though they get along really well. The myth could be looked at as a story about how you don’t have to completely commit to being one type of person, but can instead foster parallel and functional lives. That’s presumably a super modern and inappropriate interpretation but whatever.

- In Homer's version Zeus gives Persephone's hand to Hades, so he just takes her home, as women's rights weren't really a thing in Greece. They seem to be the only couple of gods that don't hate each other.
