Conflict in the Myth

In the myth, the few major conflicts are Hades and Zeus. If they had never taken Persephone from her mother, winter would never exist. Hades isn't the main person to blame, since he was shot by the arrow and fell madly in love with Persephone. But because of that, he abducted her from her mothers happy atmosphere and taken down to the cold underworld. Zeus is the main cause of this situation with Demeter's anger. He wanted his daughter to find love so he took it into his own being to fulfill that wish she had. With him and his little servant, they both created the main conflict of the myth. By taking Persephone away from Demeter, she became angry and depressed. When those emotions come to Demeter the earth suffers extremely. Zeus and Hades together conflict with Demeter and cause a huge problem to the earth that has to be fixed in the end.
