Detailed explanation-1: -The myth of the Abduction of Persephone by Hades explained the seasons. To the ancient Greeks, spring and summer signified the six months when Persephone returned from the Underworld, and her mother Demeter made the earth bloom and grow bountiful after her absence.
Detailed explanation-2: -Introduction. There are four basic theories of myth. Those theories are: the rational myth theory, functional myth theory, structural myth theory, and the psychological myth theory.
Detailed explanation-3: -How did they explain the seasons changing? Explain that Native Americans used stories called myths to explain why the seasons changed along with other major events that occurred. Myths are stories passed down from generation to generation that were used to explain events and teach valuable lessons.
Detailed explanation-4: -Demeter is the goddess of agriculture, which is why she can mess up the growing season for all of us humans. If we take a step away from the seasons and think instead about seeds and crops, we can see the myth as the allegory for the planting seeds.
