Demeter

The beginning of this myth began with Zeus being very fond of Demeter. He granted her two children.. Persephone was the girl. She was raised among the flowers, and resembled one herself. She went for a walk one day to paint, and noticed a strange bush among the trees. She cut it down and continued her walk. loud noise occurred and si! black horses pulling a chariot, with a strange man in it appeared. He grabbed Persephone, and off they went. "hile Demeter began weeping in the meadow, a boy laughed and was turned into a li#ard. Demeter discovered it was Hades. Demeter went to Zeus and complained, so Zeus said he would return her, as long as no food has passed her lips during th So$ourn in Tartarus. %ne day in the garden, a boy offered her a pomegranate, and she took it, ate & seeds, but once he began eating the 'th seed, a loud scream broke out. Hermes returned Persephone, but the mother said (no grass will grow, no flowers blow, an no trees will bear), and that*s why the seasons are the way they are. Thats why flowers and plats grow at a certain time of year, and thats why frost covers the ground at a certain part of the year.
