She was kidnapped by Pluto, king of the Underworld, and forced to become his wife. Her mother was Ceres, goddess of harvest and agriculture, and as she looked for her missing daughter, she forgot about the land, which began to wither. So the gods sent Mercury to help her.

Thus was born Summer and Winter.
