Winter is when the Demeter, goddess of agriculture, grieves for her daughter Persephone. She does this because Persephone has been taken from her. Hades, god of the underworld, kidnapped Persephone and she ate a pomegranate from his garden. Eating food in the underworld means you can never leave. But she only ate one-third of the fruit so, Hades allowed Persephone to spend one-third of the year with Demeter and the rest of the year with Hades. During this time Demeter becomes cold and causes nothing to grow.
Spring
Autumn
Autumn is caused by the Horae. They are the goddesses of seasons and portions of time. There are many for each season and each point in time of history. They control the seasons and share the times with Demeter and Persephone. This is the time when Persephone must go back to the Underworld to be with Hades.
