Today we know that the seasons are caused by the earth revolving around the sun, but how did the ancient Greeks understand the seasons? In mythological Greece, there was no spring, autumn or winter - only summer. Join us as we tell the story of the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone, and how Persephone’s time in the Underworld changed the mythological world forever.
