Well, I am sure there are probably quite a few, but the most famous one goes like this: Demeter (goddess of agriculture) had a child with Zeus (king of the gods) who was called Persephone. Hades (god of the Underworld), Zeus's brother had spotted Persephone picking flowers and having fun. Hades thought the young woman was extremely beautiful and he decided since he was always lonely in the Underworld that he would like to have companion. So he got in his chariot and appeared through a crack in the earth and Persephone.
When Demeter discovered her daughter was missing she got very angry and sorrowful. All the plants dried up and a famine came upon the people of Greece. Demeter went to Zeus for a solution.
Zeus wanted to appease Demeter, but did not want to upset Hades. So he asked Persephone if she had anything while she was in the Underworld. She told him she had eaten four pomegranate seeds. Zeus then told Persephone,"Since you ate four seeds you will spend four months of every year in the underworld. The other eight you may spend with your mother on Earth."
That is how the Greeks believed the seasons were created. Four months of the year it was cold and hard to grow crops (winter). The other eight are the other seasons.
Ok wow that was a lot to type. I'm sure there are other stories about Hades, but I believe that is the main one.
Hope you enjoyed my fantastic story skills! ;)
