Origin of Millstones

How do the millstones end up in the valley beneath Stanage Edge, Derbyshire. Also, who do the sheep that roam there, belong to?

Did Delilah actually cut Samsons hair herself?

Persphone

Why was Persphone kept in the Underworld - I thought it was because she ate a pommegranate or was it because she spoke to Hades
