What are the names of some of the gods and goddesses that we associate with the four seasons of the year?
There are not many gods and goddesses specifically associated with the seasons, rather they tend to have other attributes and stories associated with them. For example, Demeter is not specifically a "summer goddess" but she is sometimes seen as representing the six months of the year that covers the growing season or, more often, only the harvest period. Her story is that her daughter, Persephone, ate six seeds from a pomegranate which meant she had to stay in the underworld with Hades for six months of the year. During these six months, while Persephone is living with Hades, Demeter goes into mourning for her daughter - and this is our winter time - but when her daughter is freed for the next six months, Demeter is full of joy and fruitfullness - our summer.

The six months she is in the Underworld are Autumn and Winter. When she is reunited with Demeter (her mother) it is Spring and Summer.
What Olympian was upset when winter came to earth?
No, Zeus did not make winter come when he was upset. When Persephone goes to the underworld for six months each year fall and winter come. The Greeks told the story of Demeter and her daughter Persephone to explain the seasons. Persephone was stolen away by the god Hades to be his queen in the underworld. Demeter, goddess of growing things, was so sad that she neglected her duties and everything died. Eventually Zeus decreed that Persephone could return to her mother if she had eaten nothing whilst in the underworld. Unfortunately she had eaten six pomegranate seeds, so Zeus said Persephone should spend six months with Hades and six months with Demeter. Thus when Persephone returns, Demeter is happy and it is spring and things start to grow, but when she returns to Hades, the winter comes.
