Scam

In the ancient myths from my original world, there was a Greek Goddess known as Persephone who was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter. Hades, the God of Hell, fell in love with Persephone and decided to kidnap her, bringing her to his dark underworld of death.

Persephone later became the Goddess of Spring and Harvests. Anywhere she stayed would forever have excellent harvests and a perfect spring climate. This brought the only sign of paradise to the pitch-black Hell. I had also named my sub-dimension of Hell the Land of Spring after this myth.

Zeus had been the ruling God at the time, and Demeter one of the twelve Olympians of the Greek pantheon. Even Hades didn't have the power to directly oppose them. So, he used a little trick.

Before he returned Persephone, he successfully fooled Persephone into eating six pomegranate seeds from Hell!
