Every culture has its own stories about the four seasons. The stories they tell about winter are some of the most interesting. Winter was a difficult time for our ancestors, but there are still just a... s many beautiful and optimistic myths and legends about winter as there are frightening ones. The gods and goddesses of winter were also sometimes gods and goddesses of the harvest. They would return in winter, like Berchta and Frau Holda, to make sure that people were working hard and to reward them. Skadi, of Norse mythology, taught humans how to hunt and ski in the snow to survive. And of course, there's the famous love story of Hades and Persephone from Greek mythology! Here's a collection of some great winter tales to remind you of the magic of the season.
