Demeter is the daughter of Cronus ruler of the Titans. She is the goddess of the harvest and her daughter, Persephone is married to Hades.

How did the Greeks explain why winter and spring came every year?
Demeter's daughter Persephone had to spend 6 months of the year in Hades with her husband. When she was away Demeter was too sad to make crops grow.
What seasons did Demeter make?
All of them.In Greek mythology, it is said that the seasons are caused by Demeter's mood changes in regards to the arrival and departure of her daughter, Persephone: when she leaves for Hades' underworld, Demeter is sad, and hence life dies (autumn/winter), and when she returns, Demeter is overjoyed, and hence all plants burst into life (spring/summer).
How does winter happen?
In Greek mythology, Demeter is the goddess of harvest. Her daughter is Persephone. Hades is the god of the underworld and he kidnapped Persephone. To make a long story short, there was an agreement made between Hades and Demeter to share Persephone. When Persephone is with Hades, Demeter is so sad that nothing will grow and that is why winter happens.
Why was Demeter's daughter stolen from her?
Demeter's daughter, Persephone, was taken from Hades because even he thought she was so beautiful that he kidnapped her to be co-ruler of the underworld. But Demeter loved her daughter so much, but Persephone knew that if you eat any food from the underworld, you must stay there, so she accidentally ate 6 pomegranate seeds. Because of that she had to return to Hades for 6 months, which in some legends is Fall and Winter. Demeter didn't care for the crops when Persephone was gone, because she was too sad. So that is a myth why Fall and Winter don't bring crops as well as Spring and Summer.
Was the Greek goddess Demeter dangerous?
She wasnt dangerous like Hades, but when he kidnapped her daughter, Persephone, she became very sad and so the vegetation and everything starts dying. This is supposed to explain the meaning of fall and winter. When she sees her daughter in the spring and summer, everything is alive again.

What is the myth that could explain the seasons?
Hades, god of the underworld, kidnapped Persephone to be his queen. Her mother, Demeter, who was the goddess of the harvest, was very angry and sad and got Zeus to make Hades give her back. Persephone had already eaten three pomegranate seeds, though, and once you eat food from the Underworld you have to stay. Persephone had to stay with Hades for three months out of the year, and Demeter would not make things grow, creating winter. Then she could be with her mother for the rest of the year, which became spring, summer, and fall, as Demeter became happy and sad because of her daughter.
What was some of minor god Persephone's uniqueness?
She was the Greek's explanation for seasons. She was taken by Hades to his realm of the underworld, and Hades tried enticing her to become his wife. However, her mother, Demeter, asked Zeus to intervene. Zeus agreed to command Hades to return Persephone; on the condition that she had eaten nothing of the Underworld. Demeter received her daughter back, only to find that Persephone had eaten Pomogranite seeds in the Underworld. Zeus negotiated a compromise between Hades and Demeter. Persephone was to become Hades' wife, but she was allowed a half of the year with her mother, Demeter. So, she was to spend 6 months in the Underworld and 6 months on the surface of the earth. The seasons thing comes in at this point. Demeter becomes lonely and sad when at her daughter's annual leave and causes the natural world to lie dormant. Fall and Winter. When Persephone returns, Demeter rejoices and the plant begin to grow again. Spring and Summer. In the Underworld, Persephone was thought to influence Hades' judgement of the dead.
