    Most Greek Heroes are known to be very conceited. Some of them use their abilities as an advantage. For example, Zeus knows that he is the ruler of everything, if he wants to have a baby by a human(which he has done) he will do it just because he is the ruler of everything.

This spiritual descent is forced upon Persephone instead of being a willing choice, like Inanna, perhaps being an extension of the idea of evil spirits toying with people. Then, just as she is about to escape, Persephone is permanently bound to the Underworld by eating the pomegranate. The Underworld punishes her for taking from it and thus becomes a part of the Underworld herself.…
