The narrative of Persephone explains the changing of seasons through her abduction by Hades, the god of the underworld. When she descends to the underworld, her mother, Demeter, the goddess of harvest, mourns, resulting in winter as the earth becomes barren. Persephone’s eventual return brings spring and renewal, illustrating the cyclical nature of life and the mother-daughter bond. This myth emphasizes the themes of transformation and the interconnectedness of life cycles, representing hope and the revival of nature.
