Hades (Pluto is the Roman version of Hades) is the Greek god of the dead and the underworld. Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, Greek goddess of the harvest and growing plants. Hades saw Persephone, decided he was in love with her and kidnapped her. Demeter mourned the loss of her daughter and the world went barren of growing plants. Eventually the gods found Persephone in the underworld with Hades, but before she was found she had eaten six pomogranate seeds. Because she had eaten of the fruit of the underworld, she was bound to stay. The gods worked out an agreement that Persephone would spend 6 months of the year with Hades in the underworld, one month for each seed eaten, and would spend the rest of the year with Demeter. This is the explanation for the changing of the seasons - when Persephone is with Demeter, plants grow because Demeter is happy to have her daughter back. When Persephone returns to the underworld, Demeter grieves and the world goes barren, aka the seasons turn to winter.
