"You know nothing of tempers if mine is your frame of reference" Everyone on Olympus has to hide girls like contraband from Hera just to avoid having terrible things happen to them. Aphrodite is rumored to have cursed the women of Lemnos to be smelly. Sea storms are manifestations of Poseidon's temper tantrums. Demeter *literally only makes winter happen because she's sad to not have her daughter* Athena is probably the most well-tempered among the Olympians, but I hear that she was a major headache at birth. Hephaestus is cripped *because Zeus cast him to the earth in a rage.* Ares is basically a braggart and a bully, but that's not much of a temper thing. Apollo ruined a small army over some cows. Artemis turns men into stags for seeing her skinny-dip. But Hades? Hades just gets mildly passive-aggressive while the world maligns him for ruling the land of the dead.

Like... Zeus really did kidnap Persephone, Demeter sent the world in an ice age because of that, and in the same time, he really has a hell of a lot more "work" compared to anyone on Olympus. Plus that most of the others are either squabling, getting drunk, causing random wars and the like. I like the fact that he isn't the "bad guy", just a misunderstood, angry, strict father that has a lot to deal with, including a son that mostly does what he wants.

I love how accurate this is. Hades is one of the Olympians who not only takes his job seriously but also is a pretty decent person. Zeus basically impregnates any woman he thinks is hot, throws hissy fits when his ego is threatened and casually causes continental disasters Hera constantly hunts down her husband's bastard children and makes it her mission to make their lives a living hell. The most famous example being Heracles where she basically drove him mad and had him kill his own wife and kids. Not to mention she's hella petty. Poseidon is SLIGHTLY more chill than Zeus, still his list of bad deeds is almost as long as his. Aphrodite casually murders anyone who MIGHT be prettier than her or she doesn't like. Calling herself the "jealous type" is an understatement Ares and Athena are constantly in a pissing contest with each other with the lives of mortals being lost in the process. Although they're both gods of war so they kinda get a pass. Demeter throws hissy fits cause she doesn't get to see Persephone and threatens to leave the world in ice if she doesn't come to see her at least for half a year, EVERY YEAR Dyonisus is basically the drunk uncle whose parties range from harmless fun to full blown city destroying clusterfucks...literally...

It's not actually myth-accurate at all - the earliest source we have of the Persephone & Hades myth is the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, which very explicitly states: "[Hades] seized [Persephone] against her will, put her on his golden chariot, And drove away as she wept." (transl. Gregory Nagy) So kidnapping Persephone was 100% Hades' fault, and as far as I know all the Graeco-Roman sources we have for the myth state that this is the case. I understand the desire to make the Persephone/Hades "romance" more palatable to modern audiences, but it's completely inaccurate to say it's anything but a whitewashed retelling of the actual myth. (Sorry if I sound a bit harsh, this is just a misconception I've seen way too often so I thought I'd set the record straight! I can go into more detail about the Homeric Hymn if you're interested, it's a personal fave of mine.)

The amount of love for Hades from mythology is honestly refreshing. So many times he's a villain in pop-culture bc he's "the King of the Underworld" so "tHaT mUsT mEaN hE's BAD". He was arguably the nicest of the Gods and definitely among the Major Ones- I mean when the competition is Zeus, Poseidon, etc. it's not that hard to NOT look like an awful person. Hades had a functional, healthy relationship with his wife. He often offered help to those who asked for it- he literally told Heracles that he can take Cerberus for one of his tasks but he has to bring him back (and on the topic of Hades' pup, Cerberus comes from Greek Kerberos which literally can be translated as Spotted so Hades named his dog Spot and that's the only translation I consider canon!). There is only one myth I know of where Hades is "the villain" but considering the fact that our "hero" wanted to kidnap and marry Persephone in this one... Is He really?

Not actually too far off from the most complete version of the myth in the Hymn to Demeter, where Hades kidnapped Persephone because Zeus said he could without telling Demeter. It was an arranged marriage as far as Greek society at the time was concerned, and Zeus was given the blame for most of the shit in the story, aside from Hades having Persephone eat some pomegranate seeds. They certainly did like each other after the marriage, but she didn't have eyes for Hades, as far as anyone can tell. Maybe she did, but it was never stated. Considering prior to this story, Persephone was nothing but the Queen of the Underworld, there is a chance she did want Hades, but probably didn't consent so much to the kidnapping thing.
@pipedream25563 жыл бұрын
OK the idea that nobody in this version of the Persephone myth was outright mailcious is FASCINATING! Even Zeus wasn't doing it to be cruel but bc he assumed it was a win win for two unhappy people and didn't stop to consider their consent. Its the same sort of obliviously chaotic, mood swinging cheery rudeness we've learnt to expect from his interactions with Zagreus. Then bc that created a messy situation for all of them, they had to hide it, leading to Demeter not knowing where her daughter even was, her endless winter and distant demeanour brought on by MOURNING Persephone, while the goddess in question was struggling with her own unhappiness on Olympics, love for her husband and grief for the first loss she'd ever experienced being her own child. Things escalated bc of personal drama among a disastrous, powerful family who don't know what they're doing any better than normal people we as players know, and it's so much fun to humanise them in this was while still having so much fun with the unique perspective their godhood gives them on life and the world e.g. Death being a mild inconvenience

You'd think this would be the most difficult thing to get out of him, even after the multiple endings but he's finally opened up enough to speak about it, even if he has to skulk to the dark of the garden to do it. 😂😄

On one hand, that was indeed a colossal dick move of Zeus to do to Hades. On the other hand, Hades is the only god sane and responsible enough to actually manage the underworld as it needs to be. If Zeus was the one to do it instead, the place would explode from sheer negligence.

Its refreshing, instead of Zeus flat being a douche, he a douche who had good intentions. The best thing about Hades is that its threat its characters like real people who flawed rather than caricatures.

When people call Hades the nicest god, its not cause we're ignoring stories that tell of his bad deeds. Its cause those stories are so few and those few have so many good and bad versions to such a degree we cant be sure which one is definitive. Compare that to the gods who have definitively done ALOT of subjectively terrible stuff to the point whole wars were fought because of it. Hades is harmless unless you find one of 3 versions of him that tells you he did a bad thing that was probably popularized during a famine.

What I like about this retcon to the myth is that it keeps the originals spirit alive, in the original Hymn to Demeter (where the story comes from) it places all the blame on Zeus even though Hades does the physical kidnapping, the hymn goes out of its way to absolve Hades of guilt for everything except the pomegranate nonsense

Hades is the only Olympian a genuinely like. His punishments are less about ego and more about setting an import example. They guy who roles a boulder up a hill everyday got punished because he left the underworld while dead. This action upsets a balance that is extremely important. Both life and death have an important function. It makes sense that such an extreme act was met with a fitting punishment. Plus, I genuinely want a story where Zeus gets castrated.

Hades is a cool guy in the game but most problems he had with Zagreous were really of his own making. If he told his son the truth when he came out of age it all could turn differently. On the other hand perhaps Zagreous would never find Persephone nor have motivation to go and try to look after her/surface.

In the myth, Zeus tells Hades if he likes Persephone so much just take her, which he does... Demeter goes into apathy and secludes herself from the world, which stops everything from growing (goddess of agriculture and all that). Hades agrees to have Persephone live on the surface for half a year with her mother and the other half in the underworld where he will love her and whilst there "she will be treated as the Queen of Queens" (quote from OverlySarcasticProductions). And this is why we have winter children.

Hello guys, just to give a little of mithological history what happen was that persephone(i dont know if i writed correctly the name)was daughter of demeter, the goddest of the olimpus have the logic to stay virgin, so demeter take his daughter away from the olimpus to prevent the other gods appear, meanwhile in the underworld, hades was affraid about some damages after Tifon, he was worried about the light get in the underworld, so he go to see the damage, while he was investigating, demeter and hes daugther was picking up some flowers and the godest of love and Qupido(again, i dont know if i write it right) use one of theirs arrows and Hades look at demeters daughter and fall in love thanks by the arrow, he take her and go back to the underworld, Demeter was desperate about his daughter desapear and she wants her until she decided to ask to the sun about her and the sun say where his daughter was and what happen, sad she go from greeces and the world farms where infertilized, becuases of demeter where not presents in the olimpus, Zeus send Hermes to the underworld to search demeter's daugther and found her with hades and tell him the message of Zeus to return her to demeter, hades say: "I will return her with hid mother while shes not eat nothing from the underworld" Hades before retrieving demeters daugther, he offer her seeds of grenade and she eats her, after demeter founds out about she eat something from the underworld, there was no way to bring her back, Hades who was in a good mood, decide by the time of springtime and summer shes have to stay with demeter, but, while the cold season, persepone, turn back to the underworld, lefting demeter in that time depressed and not making their god tasks. And there the stations appear. "Hey, you, if you read this message, congratulations, you read a lot of text and that i write this in my phone, so anyway, i hope give you some explanation of some of the stuff based in the Hades game so goodbye."

My knowledge about Greek gods is limited to what I've heard from others. Disney did Hades dirty, but from what I know actual Greek mythology of the Pantheon is that Hades cared for everyone who entered his realm, though he didn't approve of anyone leaving for any reason. It would be nice to have a VR world of each realm to visit. Not from anything already established in other games or movies, but based on the architecture of the past while looking more modern the more you were further away from where Hades resided.

The funny thing is that this isn't even a retcon to make the story of Hades and Persephone more palatable to a modern audience. Like...sure, his *reasoning* for doing it is as are many details, but even in the original myth Hades is explicitly absolved of all blame for the kidnapping and it's put entirely on Zeus. He ordered it, and as father of the bride (something that changed here for obvious reasons, hence changing the details to match) it was his right to trade her like that by contemporary norms.
