Also asked, why was Demeter responsible for the 4 seasons?
Zeus Strikes a Deal With Hades
Zeus had no choice – he struck a deal with Hades that would allow Persephone to be by her mother's side for six months out of the year. Thus, the four seasons were born. During spring and summer, Persephone was by Demeter's side and the harvest was allowed to thrive.
Furthermore, how did the seasons start in Greek mythology? Whenever Persephone went to Olympus to live with her mother, Demeter would shine from happiness and the land would become fertile again and fruitful. These were the months of Spring and Summer. Therefore, this myth was created to explain the change of the seasons, the eternal cycle of the Nature's death and rebirth.
Beside this, does Demeter control the seasons?
Like all the Olympian gods, Demeter was immortal and very powerful. She had control over the harvest and the growing of grains. She could cause plants to grow (or not grow) and had control over the seasons. She also had some control over the weather and could make people hungry.
How the seasons were created?
The seasons are caused by the tilt of the Earth's rotational axis away or toward the sun as it travels through its year-long path around the sun. The Earth has a tilt of 23.5 degrees relative to the "ecliptic plane" (the imaginary surface formed by it's almost-cicular path around the sun).
