Demeter, goddess of crops.

Persephone, her daughter

Hades, ruler of the underground

Zeus the Olympian

several minor characters

In a nutshell: Persephone is kidnapped by Hades, who wants her for her beauty, Demeter starts searching, and during her search nothing grows anymore, and the earth is barren. She eventually goes to Zeus to ask him to convince Hades to release her daughter. Hades asks Persephone to bite from a pomegranate, and she does, therefore remaining in his power. Zeus decided that henceforth the girl shall spend part of the year in the underworld, with her husband, and another part with her mother: some say six months, some three (in the underworld).

Persephone is therefore thought to symbolise the yearly regeneration of the land and crops.
