Persephone holding a Pomegranate
Greek Mythology
The Fruit of the Underworld, colloquially known as a Pomegranate, was one of the most important fruits in Greek mythology. When Hades abducted Persephone in an attempt to make her his wife, he tempted her with Pomegranate seeds. By eating food of the Underworld, it ensured she would spend at least part of the year there with Hades. This is why the Pomegranate has come to represent temptation in Greek Mythology.
