Even though this myth ends well, and I like happy ending, I thought it was pointless. Usually all myth explain how something cam to be, but this one is just a rather pathetic love story.
Pomona is a wood nymph, & Vertumnus is one of her suitors. Pomona, however, is not interested in marriage and spurns all of Vertumnus' attempts to seduce her.
One day he becomes sick of it, and dresses as an old lady to tell her that she should fall in love with her or else she would become a statue. Then he turns back into his usual shape.
Pomona finds these arguments very convincing, and falls passionately in love with Vertumnus.
The End.
As I said, a very pointless myth.
