Question

Why does Persephone have to return to be Hades’ queen each year and what is the connection to pomegranates?

Answer 1

So basically hades was like in love with persephone (demeter goddess of agriculture) and so naturally he kidnapped her and took her to the underworld. However she ate a pomegranate and was therefore stuck in the underworld but demeter and hades made a deal to like share custody for 6 months each and that’s why we have winter cause demeter is sad without her daughter
