Persephone ate six Pomegranate seeds during her time in the Underworld and although Hades released her he did so under the condition that she return for one month for each seed.

Spring is Demeter anticipating Persephone's return and fall is the anticipation of her departure, winter is Demeter's mourning.

or so the legend goes.
