I particularly like this:
After experimenting with several pomegranates from a neighbor's tree, I decided that Demeter was sort of dumb if she thought Persephone didn't want to stay in the Underworld. Nobody goes "Hmmm, I'm hungry, I think I'm going to eat a fruit that comes with a padlock." Hungry people eat dates, apples, grapes, and other easy-access fruits. Determined people eat pomegranates.
I *like* the story where it's not rape and abduction, but informed consent and a young woman growing up and finding her own way.
Also: Dark chocolate-pomegranate cookies sound gooooooooooooooood. :-D
