Flashback:

As The Daughter of Demeter, Goddess of Harvest, Persephone was Also Describes as Nature, Together with Her Mother.

At First, Demeter Wants Her Daughter to be Known as the Goddess of Maidenhood.

But Because of Persephone's Everlasting Beauty, Hermes and Apollo then Started to Compete to Each Other, To Wins Persephone's Heart.

Demeter Knows the Possibility of How will Her Daughter End Up, As the Goddess of Maidenhood. So She Decided to Bring Persephone Away from Mount Olympus, And Hid Her Daughter with the Companies of Other Female Nymphs.

One Time, While Persephone was Gathering Flowers at the Field, A Cleft in the Ground Started to Open, And Came Out Hades, God-King of the Underworld.

He Instantly Fell In Love With Persephone's Beauty, And Abducted Her, With the Approval of Zeus.

When Demeter, Found Her Daughter had Mysteriously Disappeared. She then Searches for Her Daughter, All Over the Earth, With a Torch Carried By Her Right Hand.

Incapable of Searching for Persephone, She then Neglects the Earth and in the Depth of Her Despair She Causes Nothing to Grow.

Making Oracle's Prophecy, Priestess of Apollo, To Prediction, Saying that . . .

" A God of Death's Happiness is The Cause of End, Of All that is Living in This Earth, And the Gods Above Can Never Contradict It's Future, For Another God of Birth Shall Make it Happen "

Helios, The Sun, Who had Seen Everything, Eventually Told Demeter What had Happened, And at with Length, When She Discovered the Place of Persephone's Adode.

Finally, Zeus, Pressed By the Cries of the Hungry People, And By the Other Deities Who Also Heard their Anguish.

Zeus then Forced Hades to Return Persephone Back to Her Mother's Company.

Hades Indeed Complied With the Request, But First had Tricked Persephone, Giving Her Some Pomegranate Seeds to Eat . . .

Persephone was Released by Hermes, Who Had Been Sent By Zeus to Rescue Her, But Because She had Tasted the Food in the Underworld, She was Obliged to Spend a Third of Each Year to Stay With Hades, And the Remaining Parts of the Year, Together With Her Mother, Demeter.

Because of Demeter's Sadness, Aphrodite then Settled Persephone and Hades Bond into a Law

" Making Hades No Longer Look for Love to Another, And Persephone will Truly Enjoy the Company of Hades "

But Even if Demeter has the Chance to Be with Her Daughter, The Curse of Hera Remain Strong, Saying that . . .

" Making Persephone Worth Worship Because of Her Mother, But Never with Her Mother's Company "

Demeter Experience the Sadness, And Forgotten Her Obligation of a Yearly Long Harvesting.

Every Summer, We're Experiencing Demeter's Warm Love to Persephone, Every Autumn the Worrying of Demeter, Of Persephone's Return to the Underworld, While Every Winter We're Experiencing, Demeter's Cold-Cold Sadness, Of Pesephone's Absence, And Every Spring The Welcoming of Demeter, To Persephone's Arrival.
