In Greek mythology, Demeter (the nature goddess) had a daughter named Persephone (per-se-phony), one day Persephone was kidnapped by Hades (the lord of the dead) because he wanted her to marry him. She hated being in the underworld, meanwhile, Demeter was extremely depressed because her daughter was missing, she stopped doing her job, and the world fell into a long hard winter. in the underworld Hades though of a way to keep persephone there, he wanted her to eat the fruit of the dead (the pomogranate). She refused to eat it, eventually she was convinced to eat it, and she loved it, it was the best thing she had ever eaten, but there was a catch, for every seed she ate, Persephone had to stay in the underworld for a month, three of four months later she returned to her mother explaining why she was gone, and every year she returns to the underworld so she can eat a few more of the seeds, Demeter becomes depressed, and there is winter.
