So I’ve been thinking. In the original myth, Persephone is bound to the underworld after she eats the seeds of a pomegranate. So I don’t know about you, but when Persephone started her internship and Hades offered her a POMEGRANATE energy drink, I was freaking out!!!
Still able to go home and leave the underworld I was a bit confused and went back to see if this Pomegranate soda has popped up before or even meant anything. I mean, the pomegranate has to mean something - right? and then I noticed that Underworld Corp - Hades’ company, sells all kinds of things under the Pomegranate brand:
In total the Pomegranate brand can be found in four different chapters:
(Hades offers to buy her a Pomegranate phone, she refuse and he buys her a pomegranate soda instead)
(Thetis buys a new phone to send Hera dickpick she got from Zeus)
Chapter 83 - PROSERPINA IS LATE
(Persephone goes to the clinic, fearing she’s pregnant and sees a commercial for new Pomegranate laptops, then goes dumpster dive for an old laptop)
Chapter 94 - LITTLE BROTHER
(Zeus and Hades sees the Pomegranate commercial on tv, after returning from Semel’s party in the human world)
Phones and laptops are seen in most of the chapters, but these are the only ones where the Pomegranate brand is shown.
At first I thought it was meant as a contrast to Persephone’s own Berley Mother brand, BUT NOW! i have a whole new theory!!!!!
We know Persephone ate excatly 6 Pomegranate seeds in the orginal myth. In Lore Olymus, that magical rule dosen’t seem to exist, but what if we’re shown these highlighted pomegranate products as a way to count down to the chapter they finally get together?
So far the count is 4 POMEGRANATE products. 2 to go.
….this is stupid I know, I just had to get it of my chest, I’m sorry!!!!
