Cora is another name for the goddess Persephone, kidnapped by Hades and taken to the underworld. Before releasing her, Hades tricked her into eating a pomegranate seed, the food of the dead, which forced her to return every year. The lustrous finish and warm illumination of the Cora pendant light in Karl Zahn's series, evokes Cora's annual return, which brought earthly light and warmth to the underworld.
