When Persephone got kidnapped what happened?

When Persephone was kidnapped by Hades, the god of the underworld, she was taken while picking flowers in a meadow. Her mother, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, was devastated by her disappearance and searched the earth for her. In her grief, Demeter caused the earth to become barren, leading to winter. Eventually, a deal was struck for Persephone to spend part of the year with Hades and part with her mother, explaining the changing seasons.
