Accounts of Persephone's rescue differ. Some say that it was Hermes that took her from the underworld back to her mother. Others say that it was Hermes who tricked her into eating the pomegranate in the first place.
Some even say that it was Hecate, goddess of dark magic, that took Persephone back to her mother.
One thing they all agree on, however, is that Demeter was the one who negotiated Persephone's release.

∙ 13y agoWell, I wouldn't use the term escape, maybe something like rescued would do. Zeus ordered Hades to release her and sent Hermes to rescue her. But she ate around 4 or 5 pomegranate seeds and for that reason she must return to the underworld for around 4 or 5 months each year. During that time her mother, Demeter, grieves and prevents the Earth from producing harvest. And that's why we have seasons.
