Persephone as the God Of Sex?

Persephone was the queen goddess of the underworld and the wife of Haides (Hades). She became the queen of the Underworld after her abduction by her uncle Hades, the god of the underworld. She became the goddess of spring and growth, and was worshiped together with her mother Demeter in the Eleusinian Mysteries.

Persephone, who was picking flowers from a field, was abducted by Hades driving his chariot as she cried for help. Her mother Demeter searched long for her with no success before being informed that Hades had taken her to be his queen. Persephone was not allowed to return to the world above until Demeter prevented all plants from growing, causing a famine and forcing Zeus to demand that Hades let her go. However, while Persephone was in the underworld she had eaten some pomegranate seeds so she could not leave but Zeus settled this by decreeing that she would spend some months in the underworld with her husband and the rest of year above with her mother.

Her abduction by Hades represents her functions as the embodiment of spring and the personification of grain crops that are sown in the fall, sprout in the spring and are harvested in the summer. In Classical Greek art she is invariably portrayed with a sheaf of grain. She may appear as a mystical divinity with a scepter and box, but most often she is shown being carried off by Hades.
