Roman Provincial Phrygia Hierapolis
The Abduction of Persphone : Hades driving fast quadriga to right, holding scepter in his right hand and carrying away struggling Persephone, who raises her hands in protest.
Hades fell in love with Persephone, the daughter of Demeter, and asked Zeus for permission to marry her. Fearing to offend his eldest brother by a downright refusal but also knowing that Demeter would not forgive him if Persephone were committed to the underworld, Zeus diplomatically answered that he could neither give nor withhold his consent. This act emboldened Hades to abduct Persephone as she was picking flowers in a meadow and carry her away in his horse-drawn chariot to the underworld.
