When Persephone would return from the Underworld and was reunited with her mother, Demeter, there was happiness and this half of a year became spring and summer.
The ancient Greeks attributed seasons and natural disasters to the actions of their gods and goddesses. They believed that changes in weather and the cycle of seasons were influenced by deities such as Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, who mourned for her daughter Persephone's descent into the Underworld, causing winter. Natural disasters, like earthquakes and storms, were often seen as manifestations of divine anger or displeasure, linked to gods like Poseidon, the god of the sea. Thus, their understanding of nature was deeply intertwined with mythology and religious beliefs.
