Demeter and Pomegranate Seeds

The most obvious and distinct difference between the two writings is that Demeter is a poem and the Pomegranate Seedes is a prose. The two also distinguish the characters differently. The Demeter story holds the characters at a higher virtue, with more pride and value, whereas, in the Pomegranate Seeds, it is told more as a child's tale. A third determining factor of the difference between the two stories is that they have the same characters but the roles portrayed are different. For instance, in Pomegranate Seeds, they refer to one character as King Pluto, but in the Demeter story they do not assign him a name.
