(10%) Greek mythology is believed to be ancient Greeks’ explanation of many natural phenomena in the form of stories. That is, it is an earlier form of science. For example, a myth was created to account for the change of seasons. Demeter was the goddess of agriculture. She had a very lovely daughter, Persephone, who was in charge of flowers for her mother and was as beautiful as a flower. One day, when Persephone was out in the field, she was spotted by Hades, god of the Underworld. Hades immediately fell in love with Persephone and took her to the Underworld, making her the Queen of the Underworld. Demeter searched everywhere on earth to look for her daughter. Zeus was worried that Demeter might destroy all the plants on earth and all creatures would suffer, so he helped her look for Persephone. When they found Persephone in the Underworld, Demeter wanted her daughter back right away, but Persephone had eaten some food in the Underworld and became part of that world. Demeter was very sad. To console her, Zeus helped both sides to reach an agreement: Persephone would be with Demeter for six months every year but she would spend the rest of the year as Queen of the Underworld. While Persephone was not with her mother, no crops would grow because Demeter was upset. That 50 Apollo and Daphne 8 would be autumn and winter. When Persephone went back to her mother, the earth would be in spring and summer.
