To those who think that Greece does not matter today, let me say that they could not make a bigger mistake. Today, like old Greece, is of the utmost importance for anyone looking to find himself.

Henry Miller, 1891-1980, American author

POMEGRANATE, RED GOLD AND THE MYTH OF PERSEPHONE

Symbol of luck, strength

but also prosperity,

You are my purple pomegranate,

fruit of well-being.

 

Since ancient times,

known, your treasure,

offers fertility

and luck to your fruit.

 

They break you on New Year's Eve

and you bring abundance,

you spread hope and joy,

but also good luck.

 

Symbol of Rebirth

and also Death,

whoever tastes your seeds,

his heart rejoices.

 

Pluto fell in love

Demeter's daughter,

Persephone the little one,

He set his bow in the Darkness,

 

He grabbed her with his chariot

because he was enchanted.

From so much beauty,

The poor man went blind.

 

My poor Persephone,

where you were picking flowers,

Hades kidnapped you.

and the songs stopped.

 

As if your mother knew

started to cry,

that your own beauty

He stopped looking.

 

And so the Earth sweltered

and it did not bear fruit,

after the mother her daughter

He mourned with sobs.

 

As soon as Zeus heard

the mother's mourning,

orders release,

like a worthy father.

 

But Pluto is ruthless

gives to Persephone,

pomegranate seeds

and then he frees her.

 

But the seeds of the pomegranate

I guess they had a spell,

the mourning subsided

and the oaths were taken.

 

And so everyone agreed

that Persephone,

in six months he will be on earth

and six in the threshing floor of Hades.
