Hey guys I hope you enjoyed! I wanted to make this comment as some people have brought up the major changes I’ve made to the original story and greek mythos, I Should’ve explained this better in the video but the main thing i took from lore olympus was the different colored characters as I really liked that idea, but as story goes I went in a completely different direction mostly to make it something i enjoyed better personally, as I said there are smaller changes you can make to lore olympus to make it better, I just wanted to make it my own more ya know? As for greek mythos, I changed a lot, mostly because originally the morals as expected are very dated and honestly it made me kind of uncomfortable. I know that it’s not accurate to the source material but I didn’t really want it to be. I guess you could look at my take as a very loose representation of greek gods, I just wanted to make my story more lighthearted and fun so I felt I needed to rewrite some things i didn’t feel would fit in a more modern setting. In hindsight i wish I did more research on greek mythology So i could add more nuanced takes on things, if i ever do another part I’ll definitely try and add more references to The original stories for sure.

I like that Hades has white glowy lashes. Made him look very pretty. Also Hades being younger makes sense since there is some evidence pointing to him becoming a god after Persephone. Persephone and her mother were very likely goddess of death before they joined the pantheon. Some could say that Persephone was destined for the underworld. Her mother brings spring and not Persephone so she isn’t the goddess of it. Her mom is making spring happen as a celebration for her coming to visit her once winter is over.

@caleightilson80306 ай бұрын
This may be a hot take but I never read the scene as unnecessary or trying to bring Apolo down in order to prop hades up. I saw it as an honest and fairly accurate portrayal of how sexual violence can occurr and the manipulation and gaslighting and victim blaming that can come with it. It shows a real experiance and adresses it in a taseful way. Persephone has a support system around her that help her heal. On the topic of hades I also don't see him owning slaves. The only shades that work for him are the ones persephone hired. The rest are in the three underworld, elysium, Asphodel, or tartarus. And the only ones who go to tartarus did something truly heinous in life. Or attempted to cheat death by locking thanatos in a jar which stopped the process of death in the mortal world severely disrupting the natural balance. And all of the other people who work for him are other gods, nymphs, and other mythological creatures who seem to be fully willing and bagging a decent paycheck for thier troubles. I also think that if the age difference is what we are worried about. The gods are ambiguous beings and while yes an age gap like that is generally a no go in media. We also have to consider the fact that we are drawing from an original source material that was written in a verry different time. Im fairly certain persephone was 13 in the original myth, (yuck). But its also interesting to note that the tale of hades and persephone is hades only major myth. Whereas persephone, or dread persephone can be dated back to mychenaean Greece as queen of the dead before the idea of hades was ever conceived. All this to say that I think sometimes people read too far into things or get caught up in criticism and don't view a work for what it is. I never noticed any of the issues people are complaining about when I was reading the story. And aphrodoetys plan absolutely makes sense because while it seems stupid and childish to us it is absolutely something she would do. Aphrodiety is notoriously petty and known for pulling such shenanigans in myth. She is also known to push people together that she thinks should be a couple even if they don't like eachother so this is fully on brand for her. I feel like the people who are making some of these complaints know very little about Greek myth beyond the hades and persephone tale

As a Classical Greek scholar, your interpretations of the characters and redesign of the original myth is really cool! It’s different, but even in the original myths, Hades and Persephone were always a healthy couple (even straight after the kidnapping as it was Zeus’ idea).

Agree with everything but the "Hades and Persephone were always a healthy couple". Sure, there's some myths where they are, but in most Persephone is hinted at (or outright stated) to be miserable (i.e. Homeric Hymn to Demeter). But there's also the issue of how much of Persephone's misery was just an allegory for the death of a young woman before marriage. However, when removed from the myths and stripped down to their bare characters like Emma does, it can be very successful.

I like the explanation in Punderworld - the Gods are explained to be pure energy and don't have human ties like in blood and such - but they refer to each other as siblings or parental figures /offspring as a way of affection that they saw humans display. Hades wants to propose to Persephone and ask Demeter for her blessing - they've both met and interacted with each other before, Persephone doesn't know however that he's Hades because her mom said he was a nobody. Zeus realizes that Hades is in love and sends down a carriage to help him. Persephone is curious and interacts with the carriage, which sends her flying off - and Hades tries to save her. After landing them in the underworld after some crash landing hijinkks, Persephone knows of his real identity and they get on well, with her getting a tour of the underworld and Hades wanting to escort her back home. There's little to no miscommunication, Persephone is not this overly young (since the whole energy thing makes clear that they're all old beings) - and Demeter, while overly protective, is not this bad like the one in Lore Olympus. Her reason is that the gods (namely Zeus) have been cruel to her (leaving her with Persephone, killing her mortal lover) and she wants to protect her daughter and only family from it. It's also tied to Persephone having a bigger role, being actually responsible for blossoms and such. The world-building is amazing. A bonus comic reveals what would have happened had Zeus not interfered and Hades had asked for Persephones hand in marriage. Demeter makes him swear on oath on the river Styx to value their relationship and agrees to talking about it. The designs of the Gods are neat, they come of as human and overly mighty - Zeus is for example interesting; he's still smarmy, but his cheating is displayed as exhaustion in his marriage with Hera, who is not always easy to get along with. And this Apollo is an absolute dorky sweetheart who's good friends with Perse.

Persephone should have had more agency as a woman and as a character in this retelling and it doesn't do that good of a job at that. I agree with your issues completely. Woah, I never heard of LORE | REKINDLED! I'll check it out! I love your rewrite so much and your redesign of Persephone is so fucking beautiful. Edit:Just checked out LORE | REKINDLED and caught up with it. This version is ten times way better written than LO. Things are actually well thought out and the characters feel more human or relatable as well, especially Persephone. She has a lot more agency in this story and doesn't feel too naive and has a backbone and isn't treated like she's the best damn thing ever lol. The art feels more consistent and I love how everyone stands out from each other instead of looking the same. Body shapes, especially. The new additions feel organic as well and the impact of Persephone's wrath. A must read! As much as I am still a LO fan, Chapter 230 was it for me when wanting to see Demeter get better. I didn't like it and it felt so bitter and mean. Also, yeah....looking closely at Hades again, there are things I can't ignore for what he has done that were questionable.

artemis giving her that dress is a BIG red flag. In greek myth, Artemis is a maiden goddess. She doesn't want any male even LOOKING at her or her hunters. It's crazy she would 1. go to that party in the first place, 2. wear that purple dress she was wearing, and 3. OWN that dress that gave to Persephone?

This is valid. I tried to read it but I couldn't even finish the first episode. I was SHOCKED when I found out the creator was female.

Male gaze way, it's not so crazy to be honest. THere are so many women (older I think) who have this mentality where they fantasize of a younger version of themselves with tall dark and handsome men.

I love your version of this, but I think Zeus should be the youngest because of the origins and their father was killed by Zeus (which saved his siblings in the process). That's really all, but either way, you did a better job retelling than in the webtoon :D
@z2yn6 ай бұрын
He could still have a beard - maybe it gets more full in resemblance to clouds when he gets more into his god mode. While Zeus is the youngest sibling of the 6, Hades is actually the youngest by creation - he doesn't exist in the oldest texts of Greek civilization, while Zeus and Poseidon do. Poseidon was apparently a mix between his hellenistic version and Hades, as king of the underworld and sea. He was even ruler of the cosmos instead of Zeus, since the Mycenaeans worshipped catatonic (underworld) Gods. Persephone is also older than Hades, as she existed in those texts, being the daughter of Demeter and Poseidon. Demeter is Poseidons queen and still in her assigned role. I personally think that Poseidon kidnapping Persephone is a form of child-custody battle, that ends with them sharing Persephone and her living one of her parents at each turn of the year.

Idk why tf they didn’t make Persephone… ya know… OF AGE. THIS IS A GODDESS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Older than most of the human race. Her worship began around 4th millennium BCE, the same time period that the rest of gods exist in. The writer could’ve made her at least 2-3 years younger than Hades in hundreds and thousands of years. Or made the entirety of the Greek myths relive in a modern setting, still making Persephone AN ADULT OVER 21 and Hades at least 25+ and not a man pushing 40😭

This is coming from a person hasn't read Lore Olympus/greek mythos so take this with a grain of salt but I think the reason why Demeter and Zeus have purple in their designs is because of purple's history as a colour Back in the old days, purple items were very expensive because purple was very difficult to produce which led to only royals/rich people wearing them because it was super expensive. Purple was easy to find in nature but was different to produce stuff for. Demeter has purple on her probably because it's a common colour found in nature, mostly plants and Zeus is purple because of purple's royal status. At least that's what I think. I just thought it'd be interesting to bring up, your designs are gorgeous btw!!

purple is one of the least common colors in nature tho, thats why it was so hard to produce. The green makes a lot of sense as a nature goddess, but purple doesnt relate to any aspect of her domain as an agricultural goddess. Instead of purple she should have wheat yellow or gold heair bc shes the goddess of grain and wheat/barley were staples in ancient greece. a green/purple palette wouldve been great for dionysus at least. as for zeus, its not a bad idea to incorporate purple into his design bc ur right about it being a royal color, but its not a color most people would associate him. and its just waaaayy too much purple, too much of this singular dark shade. it wouldve been nice if rs gave changed his skin or hair color to smth else, or reserved it for his clothes instead. zeus just has a bad design overall. theres no motiffs to indicate his status or godly domain and you wouldn't guess king of the gods/god of lightning from his palette

INSTEAD they get engaged in like the next 3 or so episodes and she never fucking gets to be independet and unberdened by some bullshit punishment or vendette by some other god

Like make Persephone over 27 or something cause that would've been practically okay??

Thanatos is the god of death.

This is my take on the age gap: You can have an age gap relationship be a big conflict and point of contention in the story but the author did it incredibly irresponsibly. It's the fact that Hades is the only other male character in the series that is nice to Per or doesn't wish her harm. Per's other friends often fail her and that props Hades as being the best choice for Per to go to and stand by. So when Hades does predatory and creepy things, it's seen as it being in "good faith." Not to mention the story never villainizes Hades for these actions and paints them as him being flustered and it being cute. This is going to sound bad, but the way Hades is written and how the story paints him reminds me of reading "Lolita" and for a romance that is not the reminder you want .

22:15 This is a suggestion of what I would do with the wing crown situation. I really like the concept I would have the Wing joint connected at the back of the crown and then have the wings extended with the flight-feathers pointed down around Hades’ brow, so then it looks almost like a crow is wrapping its wingspan around his head. Then with Hermes, I would position the wings with that back and open shape that it is traditionally depicted as on his helmet and boots, and then that would differentiate the silhouette quite a bit without stealing Hermes’ traditional imagery
