What color was Persephone's hair?

In the Aeneid by Virgil, it's described that she has golden hair: "a lock of golden hair from her head". Her hair are also described as "lovely locks" (Orphic Hymn 70 to the Eumenides). Bacchylides describes her as "slender-ankled", in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, Persephone is described as "trim-ankled". Does Persephone mean Bringer of death? Pigs are sacrificed by inhumation in the late fall. So if Persephone's capture is in the late fall, her capture is associated with lots of death. So Persephone brings death every winter since the beginning of time. Hence she is the Bringer of Death.

Thereof, how many seeds did persephone eat?

Persephone ingests seven pomegranate seeds, a departure from the single seed in the Homeric Hymn and the three seeds in Fasti (4.607?8), where, as Fantham observes (1998: 207), the number of seeds is equivalent to the months spent in Hades. Why did Persephone's name change from Kore to Persephone? Kore was the Ancient Greek word for young girl, the equivalent of our maiden, and Persephone was often referred to as such to highlight her innocence. I've read that when she was young she was called Core (maiden), and after she was kidnapped she changed her name to Persephone (bringer of destruction/death).

You can also ask how does kore become persephone?

Who is Kore and how did she become Persephone? It is only after she has eaten the pomegranate seeds (which mean she must return to the Underworld) and emerged back into the land of the living that her name changed to Persephone (which means "she who brings doom" or "the chaos bringer" depending on who you talk to). Why did Zeus give Persephone to Hades? Because Hades had deceivingly tricked the young Persephone into eating the pomegranate, he was commanded to allow Persephone to visit her poor mother above his domain. In return, Zeus promised a binding deal that allowed Hades to have Persephone a month for each seed she had eaten.
