“I don’t care what power or wealth they had in life. They can’t take it with them, though many think they can. They think it will sway me, somehow. Mortals and immortals alike say many things about me in the world above. But my reputation for being inexorable is well earned,” Hades said.
Persephone smiled wryly. Draped down the front of her clothes were more jewels than the oldest, richest dynasty could hope to acquire in all its generations, much less a single mortal in a short lifetime. Any one of the rubies in her hair could ransom a princess.

Clockwise from top left:
A narcissus flower (daffodil); a top view and side view cross-section of a pomegranate; a pomegranate flower about to open; a flowering stalk of asphodel.
What do these have in common?
1. These plants all possess a symmetry of six.
2. All of them are written into the myth of Hades and Persephone.
The number of seeds Persephone eats varies from four to seven. But, taking a cue from nature, I like the idea that Persephone ate six pomegranate seeds, thereby equally splitting time between the world above and the world below.
