Why does Persephone agree to eat something before she leaves Hades?
There are many versions of how it happened that Persephone ate a few seeds of the pomegranate. In one of them Hades tricks her into it by first telling her that she is now free to go. Persephone then rejoices and let's her guard down and that is when he slips a few seeds into her mouth; she either doesn't notice or automatically swallows them. She probably didn't agree to eat them.
