Persephone is the goddess of spring. Hades wanted to trick her into coming to the Underworld with him forever. Hades kidnapped her from her mother Demeter, the goddess of the harvest, and took her to the Underworld. If she ate anything there, she would be trapped there forever. Before Zeus sent Hermes to retrive her, Hades tricked Persephone into eating four or five pomegranate seeds. This allowed her to return to the Overworld, but in 4 or 5 months time, she would have to return the the Underworld. That is the connection between the Greek myths and the seasons.
