The Orphic Mysteries
The myth comes from the Orphic Mysteries, one of the religious cults that worshipped Dionysus. In this version Persephone is not Zeus' daughter and she enlists the help of the titans to seek her revenge. The titans were former gods who ruled the universe until Zeus and the other Olympians fought back and took control. They quickly found the infant Dionysus and fulfilled their promise to Hera. Wasn't much of a fair fight, really.
