Hi there! The pomegranate features prominently in the Hades/Persephone myth, but a surface googling doesn't give much more than that. I've read many of your essays but was wondering what the significance of the pomegranate itself is in Ancient Greek cultur

It was also quite significant to Hera and Aphrodite, and was symbolic of marriage itself to the Greeks.

You might want to cross search Hera and Aphrodite and pomegranates to find out more.
