Accepted Answer

In Greek myth Persephone's abduction by Hades explains the seasons: she ate six pomegranate seeds in the underworld and so had to spend six months a year with Hades. Her mother Demeter — goddess of harvest — lets nothing grow during that time.

In Griekse mythe legt Persephone's ontvoering door Hades de seizoenen uit: zij at zes pitjes van een granaatappel in de onderwereld en moest daarom elk jaar zes maanden bij Hades doorbrengen. Haar moeder Demeter — godin van de oogst — laat in die periode niets groeien.
