Well, one day, Persephone was picking flowers with her friends, when Hades spotted her. Immediately, he became entranced by her beauty, and he snatched her up in his ebony charriot, and dragged her down to the underworld. Her mother, Demeter, feeling the loss of her child, let the world's plants wither, and crops fail. Outraged, zues demanded that Hades relinquish Persephone. Unwilling to live without her, he fed her a pomegranite from the garden. Because she ate the food of the dead, she was technically deceased, meaning she must return to the underworld. So, about every six months, Persephone goes between the mortal world and the underworld. This explains the seasons. In the summer, Dememter is happy, she'll have her daughter for half a year, but, when she realizes her daughter must soon return, she lets the world begin to die, causing autumn. In the winter, she grieves, letting the world die and freeze, and when she realizes she shall soon return, she ready's the world for her daughter's homecoming by rejuvinating the undergrowth of the world.
