One day Posephine, daughter of the Earth Goddess Dimitre, the god of spring, was playing with her friends in a field full of flowers. Suddenly she saw a wonderful narcissus, a purple and silver flower, which was far more beautiful than any flower she had ever seen. (Note: This narcissus is actually created by Zeus to help his younger brother Heidis.). She secretly approached and tried to reach out to pick the flowers, but before she could feel them, a deep hole suddenly opened in the ground, and a man jumped out from underneath, who was sitting in a golden chariot pulled by two black horses. He is Hades. He grabbed Bosephine's wrist, forced her to sit beside him, and then forced her to go down to the underworld.
Her mother, Dimitre, could not find her daughter and cried her heart out. Although her ears seemed to hear her daughter crying all the time, she could not see her daughter's figure. She seemed to be crazy, looking for the lovely Bosephine everywhere.
That year was the most miserable one for all mankind. There is nothing on the ground, the seeds do not germinate, and the human beings will starve to death. At last Zeus had to intervene. He sent many gods to persuade her to calm down her anger, but she didn't listen to anyone. Before she saw her daughter, she would never let the earth bear fruit. Zeus knew that his brother had to give in, so he sent Hermes to the underworld to ask the Hades to hand over Bosephine.
Hades had no choice but to hand over Bosephine. Before she left, he gave her a small pomegranate to eat. Bosephine, who knew that he could return to the world, was very happy. He could not imagine that he would have to return once he had eaten the things in the hell. After eating the pomegranate, she left happily and returned to her mother.
Originally, there was a withered and yellow world everywhere, but now we can see green branches and green leaves again, and the world has returned to its original appearance. But Bosephine ate the pomegranate in the dungeon, so he spent a quarter of the time in the dungeon in a year. When she was in the dungeon, the world was in winter, and the plants on the ground would wither. When she returned from the underworld, spring began, and everything on the earth was thriving and full of vitality. Because of this, there are four seasons in the world: spring, summer, autumn and winter.
