The story of Demeter and Persephone was all about a mom's undying love for her daughter. This story also creates a "reason" for the change of seasons. Of course, in the ancient times, such a reason was acceptable due to the lack of scientific truths. Myths are powerful stories created out of the need to explain certain phenomena. Have a happy read!
