Pom of Power is an Artifact in Hades. Pom of Power increases the level of one of your Boons upon acquisition. The exact effects of a Pom of Power differ between boons, and not all boons can be affected by Pom of Power. Legendary and Duo boons cannot be leveled up, as well as some other support boons.
...There is not much to eat here in the Underworld, conventionally speaking. The pomegranate is a rare exception, having made its way down to these depths, perhaps alongside the Lord Hades, himself, when he first came to this realm aeons ago. Here, this blood-red fruit holds something of a terrifying power. At times it's called a window to Olympus; for in its acrid morsels we can almost see that hallowed mountaintop, and we grow closer to the gods who there reside. Supposedly it is also rich in something known as antioxidants, whatever those are, and whatever they are for. Look, I am a warrior, not a nutritionist.
