when Persephone was captured by hades( god of the underworld), her mother weeps for her none stop. So she asked Zeus to get Persephone back for her, so Zeus sent Hermes to the underworld to retrieve Persephone. When he told Hades about Zeus's order, Hades then said to take her, but before she left he gave her a pomegranate to eat. He ended up tricking her because for the number of seed she ate she would stay in the underworld with Hades for that number of months and the rest of the months she would go back to her mother. That is why when Persephone is in the underworld, her mother weeps and nothing grows, but when she comes to her mother at home her mother is happy and everything is bountiful and grows. Just like winter and summer.
