'Persephone's Platter' was inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Persephone, the goddess of spring, who was taken by the god Hades to become his wife and queen of the Underworld. Her mother pleaded for her to be return and it was agreed that Persephone could, provided that she had not eaten the food of the Underworld. However, she had tasted the seeds of a pomegranate and thus was forced to remain there for part of the year. Persephone's myth explains the cycle of the seasons.
