Another one of my favorite Goddesses is Persephone: Daughter of Demeter and Queen of the Underworld



(The Rape Of Persephone by Berini)

Persephone ignites the changes in the seasons with her inevitable return to the realms above Hades's kingdom. Beloved by both Hades and Demeter, Persephone is forced to divide her time spent with both of them. Half the year is spent in the Underworld during which we endure Fall and Winter decay. The other half of the year she returns to the surface and brings about the fruitful months of Spring and Summer.
