Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, was said to control the very seasons throughout the year, which is why we have spring, summer, fall, and winter. One day her daughter Persephone was in a meadow picking flowers. As she picked flowers, a huge hole appeared in the ground and the God of the Underworld came out and abducted her into his realm. When Demeter noticed her daughter was gone, she looked everywhere. As Demeter searched, she neglected her duties of growing crops and sustaining nature. A barren land of bitterness resulted, and snow hid the flowers. When Zeus saw the human world rotting, he told Demeter what happened to Persephone. Demeter was angry, but Zeus sent Heracles to retrieve her. Before he could, Persephone ate six pomegranate seeds, and was sentenced to the Underworld every year for six months because whoever eats from the Underworld is condemned there. Fall comes from Demeter's anticipation of this event.
