Because Hades, god of the dark underworld, cannot find a nymph or goddess to marry him, he kidnaps Persephone, daughter of the goddess Demeter. In despair Persephone will not eat or drink, but when Hades shows her a pomegrante grove, she eats six pomegranate seeds without thinking. A noted artist interprets the Greek myth about the seasons in lovely translucent watercolors.
