Queen of the Underworld AND Goddess of Spring?

Queen of the Underworld and a daughter of Demeter and Zeus. Hades kidnapped her after he became the God of the Underworld. Demeter was so upset over the disappearance of her daughter, and in her distraction, neglected the earth, creating its cycles. Demeter mourned her by not allowing crops to grow, so Zeus struck a deal with Hades allowing Persephone to leave the underworld and rejoin her mother for six months each year (spring/summer). Thus making Persephone the Queen of the Underworld and the Goddess of Spring.

APHRODITE

Aphrodite is the goddess of love beauty and desire. Her symbols include the rose, scallop shell, and myrtle wreath. Her sacred animal is the dove. She is considered to have been born when Cronus cut off Uranus' genitals and threw them into the sea, and from the sea foam (aphros) arose Aphrodite. That makes Aphrodite older than Zeus. Aphrodite is also believed to have been the lover and surrogate mother of Adonis
