The goddess of harvest Demeter had a daughter called Persephone. In mythology the lord of the underworld Hades kidnapped her down to the underworld to make her his wife. During her absence Demeter was grieving at her lost that all the crops etc. on earth died and mortals were going hungry. Zeus couldn't ignore the cries of the people anymore and arranged for Hades to give Persephone back to Demeter. But during her stay Persephone had eaten six pomegranate seeds. If one eats the food of the dead, then they are trapped in the underworld. Zeus struck a deal with Hades. Persphone would stay in the underworld fo six months and then return to her mother for six months aswell. The cycle would continue every year and so the seasons would change everytime Persephone left and returned.
