Detailed explanation-1: -Zeus had no choice – he struck a deal with Hades that would allow Persephone to be by her mother’s side for six months out of the year. Thus, the four seasons were born. During spring and summer, Persephone was by Demeter’s side and the harvest was allowed to thrive.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -To call Persephone goddess of the Underworld is technically correct, but only to a degree. She does indeed live in the Underworld during the Fall and Winter seasons, but during the Spring and the Summer she returns to the Earth to inspire the renewal of life.
