Winter and Spring.
They teach us how the world is created and why the world is. For example, Persephone and Demeter's separation tells us why the seasons change. Pandora's box explains why there is evilness in our world.
In Greek mythology, Persephone is also known as Kore, but she does not have a last name in the traditional sense as we understand it today. She is usually referred to as the daughter of Demeter and Zeus.
Yes. An example is below. In today's world, cell phones are everywhere.
The most well recognized story of Persephone today is her abduction from the Earth (her mother/life, Demeter) by Hades (her husband, King of the Underworld/death).

One example of a story that was considered a true explanation of the natural world is the myth of Persephone and the changing of the seasons in Greek mythology. This story explains how the seasons transition from winter to spring when Persephone returns from the underworld to be with her mother Demeter, bringing new life and growth to the earth.
The most concrete example of a weakness of Persephone would be in the myth of Orpheus, where he comes to the Underworld and plays a really sad song on his lyre, begging for his wife to be let go. Persephone finally relents, which shows that she's a sucker for a sad song. ; )

The Greek gods gave the ancient Greeks a way to explain things they didn't understand. For example, the ancient Greeks used the myth of Persephone and Hades to explain the seasons. When Persephone was with Hades in the Underworld, she was miserable. So her mother, Demeter (goddess of agriculture) , kept everything from growing, causing winter. When Persephone was with her mother, she was happy, and Demeter brought summer to the world.
In Greek myth, it is because of the abduction of Persephone that the Earth/we know the seasons: for Persephone also ate of the pomegranate in the Underworld and every year must return between Earth/Olympus and Underworld.
