Let's back up. Okay, pretty Pers. was walking around, and BOOM! Hades comes out of a hole, grabs, her, and takes her to his house. On the way, she eats 3 little pomegranate seeds, which are about 1 cm. tall. If you eat food in the UnderWorld, you will stay forever. She thought that it wouldn't count, since they were so small. But it did. Her mama went and complained to Zeus, king of gods, about her daughter being stuck. She swore she would make every year a snowy, non-living land, now known as winter.

But Pers. was allowed to come back every summer, letting every thing grow.
