Persephone Pomegranate Tattoo Designs
The story that Persephone is best known for is her abduction by Hades. According to the myth, Hades had fallen in love with Persephone one day, when he saw her among the flowers in a meadow and decided that he would abduct her. Some versions of the story claim that Zeus had known about this abduction before it happened and had consented to it.
The pomegranate signifies the division of Persephone’s world into two halves – death and life, the Underworld and Earth, summer and winter and so on. In the myth, eating the pomegranate is what forces her to return to the Underworld. Thus, the pomegranate plays a significant role in Persephone’s life and, by extension, to the entire earth.
