I'm interested in the pomegranate! Partly for finding something so 'Earthly' in the Cosmere (although, I suppose there are chickens!) and partly for its significance in Greek Mythology - Demeter and Persephone and Hades?
Hoid looking to restore what was lost? It sort of felt like there were parallels between Demeter's desperate attempts to find and restore her daughter, Persephone (some versions of the myth have her disguising herself to infiltrate places where she might get information which felt very Hoid-like).
And Persephone - who, thanks to eating pomegranate seeds, is forced to exist between two realms - her mother's realm above ground and Hades' realm, the underworld.
I have no idea if that has any Comere significance but I though it was interesting!
