One of the two tricks that Hades played on Persephone was that Hades tricked Persephone into eating 7 pomegranate seeds. In the text it said, “Now with with joy in her heart, she should not refuse all food. Persephone was eager to be gone, but since the king entreated her, she took a pomegranate from him to avoid argument and delay. Giving into his pleading, she ate seven of the seeds.” Since she ate 7 seeds, she must stay in the underworld with Hades for 7 months. It explains this in lines 189-195. So the pomegranate seeds were one of Hades’ evil tricks.
