[@leeammorris1268]

I understand that Demeter just wants to protect her daughter, and considering how Despina (Persephone's sister) came into the world I don't blame her, but she needs to understand that Persephone isn't a weak, naive little girl anymore who needs constant supervision and protection. She's a grown woman capable of making her own choices and falling in love with whomever she chooses. And to be honest, out of all those suitors whom she handpicked herself for her daughter, Hades is more mature, intelligent and honest than all of them combined. I mean, Ares, after having more than a few drinks I'm sure, had just tried to assault her in her own garden. Gods only know what would've happened if Hades hadn't shown up and kicked his *ss when he did. Is it really that hard for her to not have her daughter under her control?? She legit forces her to leave her loving husband and two beautiful children for six months of the year at the end of each winter, tearing apart her family thereby hurting Persephone in the process. I doubt Demeter's even seen her grandchildren, let alone spent time with them.

Yea. You'd expect her, of all people, to understand the feeling of being away from your children but nope, she's too entitled to think about that.

[@josecuestas7246]

For that reason, i think that Demeter is even worse than Hera, because in defense of the former Queen of Olympus, Hera become a piece of work only because Zeus was constantly cheating her, breaking her heart all the time, turning Hera in a bitter, paranoid and vengeful goddess. Even, during the Season 2, Hera showed a more wiser, merciful and selfless side, implying that she used to has this personality, prior to be cheated by Zeus, showing that Hera was a more considerated and caring goddess in the past. Unlike Demeter, who was an awful goddess since the beginning, to be too much possessive and controller with her daughter Persephone, to the point of forces her some suitors that Persephone didn't want. Adding that while Hera generally limits to harm only who are involved with the cheating of Zeus, Demeter hasn't qualms in put in jeopardize innocent bystanders from her personal issues, only to fulfill her shenanigans; like threat with a permanent winter that would leads to famine to the mortals if Persephone wasn't returned, or unleashes a plague to weakens the gods, disgarding the genocide against the mortals, making Demeter worse than Hera if you analyzes it.

[@girl1213]

@@StarScar-44 You're not wrong but it's not really something that's totally confirmed in order to put it the mainstream Greek Myth knowledge base. Mostly because the records of these two are few and far in-between and the time period of these records are problematic to figure out. For example: In the earliest mention of Zagreus, his mother is Gaia, and his father is only called the "highest" god, which could be Zeus, but could be Hades as well. This due to the fact at this time that Hades' identity is as Zeus' katachthonios (as in Underworld, so while he's in the Underworld) alter ego Melinoe, on the other hand, is much "newer" in terms of where she pops up (2nd or 3rd century AD). So, we can't say for certain the Ancient Greeks even knew of her existence. She appears to be a much later addition to Zeus' children, but a lot of scholars have noticed her similarities to Hecate. So, she might actually be Hecate in a new form, which happens with cultural drift.

In the myth by Persephone’s own account too she was not happy at all with what happened.

From all we are shown in the series, there's no way in hell that Demeter would have accepted this match. Demeter was actually selecting the suitors for Persephone and shows nothing but contempt for Hades. Even when they are "allies" she tries to blame her own crimes on Hades in order to drive a wedge between him and Persephone. Persephone eloped for a reason

[@andreagrussu6778]

Yes, the eloping at first was a bit too sudden, but Persephone told Demeter fair and square that Hades saved her, that he did not hurt her in any way and that she chose him willingly as a suitor, and yet Demeter still refused to listen. Eating the pomengranade was another reckless move, but I still believe Demeter unintentionally pushed Persephone to do it, or that at least she was part of the reason, because she still treats her like she is a little girl who does not understand what is best for her when Persephone is an adult, a goddess, who knows what she wants

[@filipvadas7602]

To be fair, based on how they characterise Demeter here, there's no way in hell she would agree. Hell, even in the myth of Persephone's "kidnapping" every time she leaves Demeter throws a fit and causes Winter. She KNOWS where she is and will eventually come back but still tortures humanity in her most well know myth for it.

[@drogo1913]

She tried to tell her before it got to that point, Demeter wouldn’t listen! But then, again, after everything we were shown of the series, I doubt she would’ve listened regardless. Hell Demeter was selecting her daughter suitors without even asking her, and I doubt she would have bothered to hear that one of them being Aries actually tried to rape her!!! Persephone is now a grown woman who can make her own decisions, Demeter Just refuses to see her as one~~ Hell in the myth, she was raped by Poseidon and had another child Despoina which she abandoned! which frankly on a sidenote worked as a dynamic reference for the tangled series between Cassandra and Rapunzel. Rapunzel is the Sundrop ☀️, Cassandra is the moon 🌙, winter ❄️ and spring 🌸~~ you see where I’m going with this. KZbinr Han Solo even made a video about it.

I feel like the moment when Demeter is pulling her, despite Persephone holding Hades's hand, and while he curls his fingers to try and keep contact as long as possible because he doesn't want to lose her, he still lets her go so. damn. easily. rather than risk hurting her...says so much in less than thirty seconds.

It's touching how in the original myths, Persephone doesn't resent her mother and Demeter's trauma causes her to rightfully protect her daughter from the same fate that she suffered, given how Ancient Greece was. But all everyone does in modern retellings is turn Demeter into an evil helicopter parent to portray Persephone as some strong independent feminist heroine, even though Persephone doesn't do anything to prove herself as such in these retellings (apart from falling in love with the mysterious bad boy Hades or whatever)

[@mwokozi]

Actually in the original myths Demeter fights the Patriarchy. Persephone didn’t have a reason to resent Demeter. “Hermes did not disobey, but straightaway he headed down beneath the depths of the earth, rushing full speed, leaving behind the abode of Olympus. And he found the Lord inside his palace, seated on a funeral couch, along with his duly acquired bedmate, the one who was much under duress, yearning for her mother, and suffering from the unbearable things inflicted on her by the will of the blessed ones.” Persephone also tells Demeter she was taken against heed will and cries during the abduction. In the myth by Persephone’s own account too she was not happy at all with what happened. Demeter also was very protective but rightfully so for the time. Often it’s agreed that the SA of Demeter by Poseidon happened while Demeter searched for her daughter after hearing Persephone’s screams and being told she was taken by Hades against her will.

If I remember my mythology correctly, Persephone was born from Zeus raping Demeter, in fact I think this is not only Zeus's first affair/rape but the very first rape in Greek mythology. Of course Demeter would fear a similar fate befalling her daughter and assuming the worst, especially since Poseidon also raped her soon afterwards leading to the birth of Arion. Her thought process was probably something like, brother 1 & 2 cornered and raped me why would brother 3 be any different except this time he targeted my daughter and imprisoned her in his home. Demeter had ample reason to assume the worst, her mistake was continuing to assume the worst and pushing that narrative no matter what, then proceeding to hold the whole world hostage to force Persephone to be returned to her.

[@girl1213]

You've heard of Demeter's curse? It's literally starving to death. That's why people can dislike her because even she took punishment too far to the point a man killed himself by eating himself alive. She truly is Zeus' sister in that sense. And then there's Demophon...Demeter had no right to NOT explain herself for burning him alive and get mad at his mother for not understanding what she was doing. She kidnapped that child after all. Truly...the chilliest Olympian is Hades, and he's been done dirty because of Christianity wanting to associate him with Satan. But his only true crime is Demeter's kidnapping, something that was sanctioned by Zeus himself. Even the story of the pomegranate is looked upon as a later addition rather than the original story, and even so the reasons why it is there has been lost to time.

What's interesting is how this is more accurate to the Gods than people tend to believe. Persephone was always portrayed as intelligent (which is why she was the one who was responsible for cursing those who wronged the Underworld). Add in how overbearing Demeter was, Persephone would have known about the pomegranate before eating them, because Demeter would have most likely warned Persephone about what would happen (since she didn't want Persephone to leave her side). Finally is Hades, who wasn't a horrible God, but instead someone who did his job and only once ever showed any signs of doing wrong (kidnapping Persephone), which isn't really kidnapping in ancient Greece since he obtained permission from Zeus, which was the equivalent of marriage back then.

[@mwokozi]

Nope in the myths Persephone wanted to return to her mother.

Then let's not ignore how overbearing Demeter was, where she kept Persephone in consistent isolation until Persephone was taken to the Underworld.

Is everyone going to ignore the fact that Hades is Persephone's own uncle? 😖

Boo! Stop romanticizing a myth about a man kidnapping a young girl and forcing her to be his wife and turning the main character, Demeter, into the villain. It’s so overdone and not even a Greek version of the myth.

[@marian1000brb]

If I was Demeter I would've not agreed not for half of year, not for more or less. Let the desolation consume the earth. Judge me all you want but If I was in Demeter's shoes, as god I would've refused to fulfill my duties so the world may feels my pain.

So you'll commit genocide against humanity, letting them starve and die, all because you couldn't accept your grown child's decisions?

[@varric]

So, you're not going to recognize your daughter's feelings, and you're going to let people know you're petty enough to make them suffer because things don't go your way...

[@marian1000brb]

​@@varric knowing that my daughter will live in the underworld, and knowing that nobody give a fuck about my feelings, then let the world burn. She can do as she pleases but don't expect me as parent to let go without consequences. A parent who knows that the place where his/her child will live is a bad one and poisened, then yeah I am petty if I'll let him/her to live there.

Well this doesn't match the mythology

Of Course it’s not but it’s probably one of the most actuate depictions in tv we have
