@deonaustin9575 I am sympathetic toward Hades but......causing the gods to fight among themselves and, as an effect, humans will suffer so he can be with his wife is SELFISH!

@@kenroycherrington148 Hades didn't do this for just himself though, it was mostly his family which pushed him to the edge. ''If you really are one of the most powerful gods, then she wouldn't have to go.'' - Melinoe Besides, that Hades (slightly) lowered himself to the level of the other gods, is basically the point, Hades had already tried to be fair and virtuous for an eternity, but the other gods didn't care. Only when Hades acted with force and power, were the others bothered enough to listen. ''I have tried to be fair... But only with blood, can what has been done, be undone.'' - Hades

​@@MorokLeviathan he isn't out of the woods tho

@@kenroycherrington148 you are just repeating the same phrase in every comment

In the tales, Hades was actually the pretty chill dude compared to his brothers Zeus and Poseidon who were crazy

Demeter was not a vilain in greek myths, sure she acted like a lioness to find and protect her child and in her grief the crops withered and mortals suffered but she didn't do it on purpose. Her beef was with Zeus and Hades not the mortals.

It wasn’t that high bar to begin, but still. She seems nice

​@@thehermit8723Demeter cursed a guy for cutting trees into a devourer until he ate his own daughter yeah she was pretty like wow

@@thehermit8723she punished humanity for Persephone’s marriage to Hades. that’s the entire cause of winter in mythology.

@@orpheemulemo8053 Tbf, the tree in question was one of Demeter's favorite dryads and the grove itself was sacred to Demeter. Sure you can see she went a bit extreme but the guy did basically go into a grove of Demeter and cut down a sacred tree, there being no harsh recourse would be surprising.

I dislike how they did Hades but everything else was fine. I sort off expected them to make Hades what Poseidon and Gaia were. He should have been like his Mythic Counterpart who was a Family Man through and through and tried everything possible to prevent bloodshed and was a Voice of a Reason and if he couldn’t prevent a Fight he always stayed Neutral. The without a doubt worst part was when they made Hades so miserable and a simp that he allowed Demeter to unleash Covid-19 on Hellas instead of stopping her. Mythology Hades would have gutted Demeter right then and there. They should have made Poseidon the Villain who was after the Eleusinan Stone cuz In Myths Hades chose the Underworld right after the Titans were dethroned and was totally fine there it was Poseidon who was always causing Havoc and Trouble and didn’t give two fucks about Mortals or the fragile Balance of Powers, was envious and tried to dethrone Zeus multiple times. Hades actually always had Zeus back and even helped him escape from a trap Hera, Poseidon and Athene laid in the Ilad. The best depiction of Hades ironically came from AC Odyssey where he was a wise Ruler but also a sadistic Master Manipulator who took great pleasure in hearing the Guilty and Useless tortured in Tartarus or being stuck in Asphodel and the Fields of punishment cuz that’s how he is described in Myth. He rules the Four Realms of the Underworld harsh but he also ain’t merciless and always gives Mortals chances to redeem themselves by working for him and adding him guide Souls to their eternal peace while taking joy in seeing evil Souls being tortured. Plus like his Mythical Counterpart he is a fuckin GAMBLER!!!!!!!!! I really hoped that they would have broken the trend of making Hades the bad guy and made him instead the Voice of Reason that Hera was in Season 2 telling the other Gods that fighting would get them nowhere. Instead of manipulating, he should have been actually trying redeem Seraphim if only for his own amusement till Poseidon or Ares managed to bride Seraphim to support them all while Hades was watching everything and making Bets with either Gaia on who screws up first and while betting they discuss Mortals and Gods alike all while watching Heron and Seraphim. The Final Episode before Gaia crushed the Stone should have instead shown that the Stone everyone was fighting over was actually fake and shattered after Heron spends the decoys power. Then Hades appears alongside Gaia revealing that he had the actual Stone the entire Time after Gaia gave it to him to keep it safe, cuz she knew that some of the Gods would try dirty tricks. Hades then gives it to Heron while tossing a Drachma coin 🪙 to Gaia saying „It appears you win the bet Grandmother.” It’s then where Heron gets backstabbed by Ares or better yet Poseidon and all hell breaks loose and the Series ends with Typhon being unleashed, the Gods running away in fear all while Hades escorts Heron’s and Seraphim’s souls to the Underworld to the Isle of Blessed uniting the two Brothers with their mother together for the First Time saying that they can rest now.

@@TheKhanofKhans You talk too much

@@TheKhanofKhansbut he couldn’t stop demeter it was to late

Lol he would have tried.

@@dagnirglaurunga1620he could have

​@@fersho450 Tried. Unless he caught him off guard or something, Zeus has always been depicted as the most powerful of the main gods.

While I do believe he should've been more level-headed and neutral like his mythological counterpart, at the same time I think he reserves the right to be a little bit bitter with Zeus. He's been stuck with the worst job of all, ruling The Underworld, while parts of it are nice like Elysium and Asphodel, Hades is the one stuck watching over Tartarus and unable to see the woman he loves for half of the year while his children grieve her absence. Meanwhile Zeus, his youngest brother who by all accounts should be bowing to him has been running around making a mockery of himself and the gods by sleeping with every woman he remotely fancies and when the Demigod children those women bear die, they end up in Hades care, along with everyone who died because of Zeus' fling of that week. Zeus gets to be King of The Gods while Hades is stuck cleaning up his mess.

No, he could not. Zeus is the strongest Olympian and everyone else fears him more or less and with good reason. He soloed Typhoon while Hades and everyone else ran away to Egypt to hide...

No, he,s not depicted as EVIL in this series, but Hades IS depicted as a conspirer for the throne like in multiple forms of media. So not completely out of cliché.

@@taylorschott4659 he is doing it only because he wants to be with his wife forever and is tired of ruling Underworld as Zeus cheated to get Olympus He is not doing it because he is Evil

@@taylorschott4659but this time he doesn’t do it cause he believes is his birthright or anything, Hades is both a father and a husband, framed for rape and forced to let his wife spend 6 months on Gaea, forced to raise his children half of the year without a mother. Yeah he felt that he was cheated from the throne by Hera and Zeus, and even more when he realized that Poseidon knew about the event and he was forced to rule on a realm which only describes death, punishment and torture. Becoming the ruler of Olympus is both the only way he will be free of ruling the realm of the dead, but more importantly, so Meli and Zagreus can finally spend an entire year with their mother and himself with his wife and Queen

@@taylorschott4659that’s the point. Hades is typically depicted as evil in most modern media, but he isn’t. In fact, despite being feared, he is one of the most chill gods in Greek Mythology.

​@@taylorschott4659Brotha, its his divine right as the firstborn of Chronos to rule

ya um at least in myth hades rigged the lots so he'd get the underworld and Zeus would get the sky so he'd be as far away from him as was possible. Hades spent most of the myths doing everything in his power to not interact with his brother he could.

there are also myths where zues disguises himself as hades to sleep with persephone

And also in this series they imply that being in the underworld is toxic and zeus know it.

I think no reasonable person denies that

​@ATalesTruth- We're talking about Zeus honestly his track record makes everyone look like a saint

So many reasons this happened to Zeus, the number one reason being he couldn't keep it in his pants

I agree the consequences of his ‘Philanderings’ lead to Hera’s Wrath (and she still loves and defending him I feel so bad for her ) and the ‘bastard’ that were victims of all this Drama and Hera’s Wrath.

That’s what makes it better

He Only did his job as God of underworld nothing personal

@@sergenicolastampos3177it was personal in the seraphim trial Hades begged him to repent even though seraphim doesn’t deserve it based on his action yet Hades stepped down to alter his fate and didn’t try hard enough. But with Zeus he came down from his seat trying to convince everybody that Zeus is a bad guy and tried as hard as he can to condemn Zeus he got hate for Zeus in his heart.

Well he did by the end of the video “you brought this upon yourself” looking down at him saying it in a hateful manner.

@@altair227 hateful but truthful. He did bring it on himself.

But keep in mind Zeus stole another man’s wife and deprived that man’s actual biological son a family along with torturing him.

@@0mtrebellcyury993All the while leaving Heron and his mother to live below the poverty level.

That’s exactly what happened

He didn't plan the trojan war, that was provoked by Aphrodite.

This is the first time I'm hearing about zeus punishing hera over heracles but if that's true, that's actually a good thing considering what she made that guy go through.

​@efaristi9737 In some myths, Zeus knew in advance the consequences of not inviting Discordia. And the competition that would soon follow afterwards. It is also implied that the war was also used to thin the herd of demigods that were all over the place in ancient Greece. And even way before that during the creation of Troy several of the Olympians had rebel and lost against Zeus, Athena, Posiedon, Apollo and others that I can't recall. As always Athena got off Scott free while Posiedon had to help build Troy. Posiedon when he was done assisting the Trojans he tested the walls with 2 serpents and if they got in then Troy was doomed to fall in the future, and so the serpent managed to enter and Troy's doom was prophesied.

The last thing I wish to mention is that Zeus may think with his other brain but he does use his main brain when it comes to his rule. In fact the times he is the most clever is when his kingship is threatened and you get a whole different Zeus.

Hera Had It Coming For Ruining Herclurs Life

@chaneladriana6829 Sorry, but I already got one

They're screwed against Typhon without Zeus lol

There is only one God that inherited the power of the Heavens and that is ZEUS. There is a reason he was destined to be King of the Heavens. Forget all the stories about disloyal, that is just Hollywood crap. In the original Greek mythology, ZEUS battled against Typhoon 1 on 1, in the first round he lost and in the second he imprisoned the beast beneath mount Etna. They will be forced to release ZEUS, because only HE can defeat Typhoon and keep the world in check

@@AGENT47ist Zeus is just HIM.

@@AGENT47ist "Forget all the stories about disloyal, that is just Hollywood crap" The thing is that in the original Greek mythology Zeus WAS disloyal. He was cheating on Hera.

@@niesamowitagabichan3394 I am a Hellene(Greek), and our mythology does not speak about cheating but rather ZEUS wanted to leave behind ancestors and heroes to carry on the legacy of the Gods. Where do you think, Perseus, Hercules, Thalia and many other demigods came from? Hercules was conceived with Hera's permission

Only so mich you can bring into a 30min cartoon while also keeping things interesting

And let’s not forget that he raped and killed His mother Rhea

i think Zeus wasn't afraid of Athena but of Athena's brother (that never was born) because it was stated that he would be more powerful than him

Well written

@okamireader5 I am sympathetic toward Hades but......causing the gods to fight among themselves and, as an effect, humans will suffer so he can be with his wife is SELFISH!

@@kenroycherrington148 Hades didn't cause the gods to fight amongst themselves though, they already did it by themselves. Hades escalated the conflict, sure, but he stayed by the sidelines for ages already. ''Zeus and Hera made a fool out of me... And for the sake of peace.. I stood by.. and did, nothing...'' Demeter poisoning the world wasn't Hades' intention, he had already crossed lines by then, though, and failed to stop her. Gaia made things a thousand times worse by throwing a tantrum like a child, the very same action she accuses the Olympians to be guilty of.

@@MorokLeviathan Hades and Demeter, yes for Persephone, but they want to rule as well. To argue why not let Heron or let Hades fairly compete for the throne?

@@kenroycherrington148 Heron DID take the reign, and he told everyone to go back to the status-quo. This was truly godly levels of self-righteousness and arrogance, ''it has to be so'', Heron claimed... Obviously, this did not sit right with Hades. He could, perhaps, have talked it out, both of them could have, but Hades was pushed to the brink already, and Heron was fated to die anyway, so Heron's fate was sealed no matter what. Edit: Also, any competition wouldn't be fair. Gaia was biased for Heron as well, such a hypocritical 'being', to put it nicely, though she did imply that Seraphim could have worked too.

I remember one myth were a King who openly prayed to Hades so much that He would have a game of chess and Hades will vist him for the games and they played. One day this King got cocky and something else I sadly forgot but h decided to trick or try and trick him and laid a attack to the underworld. Hades knew this and instead tricked him so hard that the king lost Everything in one swoop. Or so I recall. Hades didn't mess around if you fucked with him.

Yes, but he deserves redemption, he isn't rotten to the core.

Even he is aware he deserves this

Don’t be he does

They are demigods, but not immortal

Minos is his grandson (and son of Rhadamanthus, who in turn is a son of Zeus), but they were close

Correction on my end. The producers were correct. Wikipedia was being confusing with the Rhadamanthus family tree. Yes all three of them are children of Zeus. The correct answer is Rhadamanthus and Minos were brothers (both are children of Zeus and Europa)

zeus can literally kill the 3 kings lmfao, they knew they wouldn't mess with the real king of all kings.

Not a great lawyer considering she lost her apparent case.

Just saying someone would make a good king because of personal opinion doesn't make it true and that was Hera's argument. And it ended up Zeus wasn't a good king since she tried overthrowing him.

Only because Zeus is in chains if he wasn't he would wreck the absolute shit of Hades 🙏😭

true, although many things are also skipped

Not really, if it wasn't for his cheating, beings like Hercules, Apollo, Hermes, Athena, and Artemis wouldn't exist. Staying loyal would've left us with nothing but Ares.

Nah they are all the same in my book, hades too did nothing and waited for his time to strike because zeus had to compromise to demeter request after hades kidnapped her

100%. Heck people have even called/ referred the underworld as Hades. That is how intertwined both of them were. Growing up learning about Greek myths, it was confusing to hear the god Hades was a person, as even my classmates thought the same. We could separate the name Pluto though and knew that was a being and not the underworld.

​@alanguages, are you Greek

@@user-tp9uw1pr6m Nope, I am not Greek. In Catholic elementary school for some reason we had to learn about Greek mythology. It was a subject to learn creative writing. One part in stories we had mixed up was when others would say things like the land of Hades or in Hades. Hence, we thought the name of the underworld was Hades. I read Marvel comics and Pluto was a character. I then thought the underworld was Hades, but Pluto was the ruler.

@@alanguages oh because that's exactly how we learned it in Greece

That's why I like the character Hades, who is commonly portrayed in the Hercules and Xena TV series. There he showed his fair side more.

Zeus isn't omnipotent, yes, but him being the top dog is the one thing consistent among the popular myths

Because it would be weird

Because they aren't real gods.

He is still dead. When the soul is brought in front of the three judges, it reobtains its "mortal shell" so it can be physically touched, restrained and tortured.

He's dead, this was his soul being judged so to say. Its possible that they might do something with him later but who knows.
