In Greek beliefs, the mythological story explaining the change of seasons revolves around Demeter and her daughter Persephone. According to the tale, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, mourns when Persephone is taken by Hades to the Underworld. In her sorrow, Demeter withdraws life from the earth, creating winter. Persephone’s eventual return signals the arrival of spring, marking the cycle of planting and harvest. This myth highlights themes of loss, reunion, and the natural cycles inherent in life.
