In mythology, the tale explaining the seasons is often connected to the goddess of agriculture, Demeter. Her daughter, Persephone, is abducted by Hades, leading to Demeter's grief, which causes the earth to become barren, symbolizing winter. When Persephone returns, spring and fertility return to the land. This myth illustrates themes of reunion, growth, and the cyclical nature of life, encapsulating humanity's connection to the Earth’s seasonal rhythms.
