In Greek mythology Persephone is not depicted as having fallen in love with her husband, Hades, who abducted her. However, she came to accept her role as queen of the underworld. In this capacity Persephone influenced various mythical events, such as allowing the seer Tiresias to retain his prophetic mind after death. She also persuaded Hades to let Orpheus retrieve Eurydice and to allow Heracles to complete his final labor by fetching up Cerberus from the underworld.
