I can't find a source right now, but as I recall, when Demeter was crying, distraught after having lost Persephone, and the boy (who must have a name, almost all those Greek figures do) laughed at her, she transformed him into a lizard, which was promptly devoured by a hawk, eagle, or some other predator. After his death, he was a gardener in Hades' palace in the underworld, and tempted Persephone with the pomegranate arils that doomed her to part-time cohabitation with Hades. Again, I can't find a source, and this version of the myth might be a fabrication by the Evslins, or someone.

Nope.
