According to Legend, Persephone was trapped in the Underworld After Hades had captured her, while there she ate 6 pomagranet seeds. When her mother, Demeter (goddess of the Harvest) was looking for her the earth went cold, rainy, snowy and all around horrible because she wasnt there to regulate it.

When she found her daughter she had tried to take her home, but Hades said that the girl ate fruit therefore had to stay. Zeus, persephone's father dictated that Persephone would marry Hades and live with him for 6 months of the year, During which time Demeter would cry and suffera and the earth would turn cold. This wsa the Greek's explanation of the Seasons.
