The pomegranate is the subject of one of Aesop’s fables, in which the proud fruit argues with an apple over who is more beautiful.
In The Odyssey, Homer speaks of the pomegranate’s cultivation in the gardens of the kings of
Phrygia and Phaecia. 700 B.C.
William Shakespeare immortalized the pomegranate tree in the famous line from Romeo and Juliet in which Juliet insists that it wasn’t the lark but the nightingale that "sang on yonder pomegranate tree."
