I have another question after this one

anonymous · Answer

According to legend, she stays in Hades six months of the year (winter) because she ate 6 pomegranate seeds. She returns to mother earth and springtime and summer for the other 6 months of the year. If she had eaten 12 seeds, we'd all live in Slobvinskiya

anikate · Answer

what natural happening does this myth explain? Describe it.

anonymous · Answer

It explains why nature grows fruits, leafs, and all that other stuff we can't live without. It explains how nature in general recycles itself on a day to day basis and how we adapt to the environment around us.

anonymous · Answer

It also explains our seasons. When Persephone comes out from The Underworld, everything begins to blossom and grow because Demeter is happy to have her daughter back and it is springtime and eventually turns to summer. When she must go back to the Underworld though, everything begins to die (fall) and Demeter is unhappy, causing winter.
