According to Hesiod's Theogony, Persephone was the daughter of Demeter and Zeus. Persephone used to live far away from the other deities, a goddess within Nature herself before the days of planting seeds and nurturing plants. She was innocently picking flowers (lilies, violets, roses, crocuses, also narcissus etc.) with the help of some maidens in a field in Enna (Sicily), when Hades came from the underworld to abduct her, bursting through a cleft in the earth. Eventually, Persephone was able to get released for some time every year. When Demeter and her daughter were united, the Earth flourished with vegetation and color, but for some months each year, when Persephone returned to the underworld, the earth once again became a barren realm. In Greek mythology, this is an origin story to explain the seasons.
