feyre and rhys aren't persephone and hades. the structures are barely there even for the sanitized, romanticised version of the story, it's really just his aesthetic and their bargain that links them to that myth.
you know who really is hades and persephone? rhysand's parents. he falls for her the moment he sees her because of the mating bond and decides to take her away then and there. he is roughly 900 years her senior, the lord of the land, his seat is under the mountain. he lavishes this young girl with gifts and affection, makes her his wife, his queen, the mother of his children, none of these decisions under her control. and ultimately she cannot live where he does. he builds his persephone a garden, gives her a house in velaris, but she wants to be home in illyria, and every year she leaves him to go back to where she came from, to spend as much time as she can with her family and with her people before he inevitably takes her away again.
