Since Persephone has eaten six seeds of pomegranate , I rule that she spend six months of each year in the underworld with her husband, and six months tending to the moral's field with her mother
Zeus stood up from his throne and the assembly quieted.
Neither Demeter nor Hades were completely happy with this agreement, but Zeus had made it so.
Every year Persephone returned to the fields and restored them with Demeter
and when the time came, Hades would come to her and escort her to her throne in the Underworld.
