When Hades abducted Persephone to the underworld her mother Demeter grieved. Demeter is the goddess of crops and harvest. When she missed her daughter she could not fulfil her duties, so nothing grew on earth. Then it was arranged that Persephone was to come back to her mother for part of the year. When she is, her mother is happy. That is the cause of our seasons.
