Hades and Persephone || Mythology 101

[@MonarchsFactory]

Hey, since I got yet another comment on it but pinning comments is a thing now, I thought I'd address it once and for all rather than continue to reply to each comment individually; Yes, Rhea is Hades' mother not Gaia, who's his grandmother. I misspoke during the video and have clearly learned an important lesson about being distracted by food. Glad to see so many people on top of their mythical genealogy though! Kudos!

[@SporadicKristal]

MonarchsFactory Just found this chanel and it's great! It's like drunk history but with food instead of booze! I love how you tell the story, I would have done better in history if you taught the class haha.

[@phoenixking62]

I heard that there was a version that Zeus had promised Hades Persephone's hand earlier. But didn't tell anyone. Including Persephone. Good going there Zeus. And that's why he didn't want to tell Hades off.

[@BoWeava]

I had a little of Gaia for breakfast this morning...😜lol I really love your storytelling too! Have a great day ☮

[@theabandonedspace7270]

thanks for the compliment, I am actually the mythology person in my family! norse, greek, roman Im your girl even " see you in mythology" likes me.

[@sonicxkids]

I heard a version of the story once where Zeus was the one who gave Hades the advice to go kidnap Persephone. Hades: Hey Zeus there's this girl I really like but I don't know how to talk to her. Zeus: oh dude this is easy, just kidnap her Hades: you think that'll work Zeus: ya totally chicks dig a guy whose assertive

[@jaynaya-tea512]

Yeah that was the version Rick Riodan used in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods. Zeus also said that it was okay because he is Persephone's father and he was sort of giving her away

[@sonicxkids]

Ayanyaj Sivart yeah though I'm sure I also found a version of that ilk elsewhere as well since I never read past the first book of Percy Jackson and only vaguely remember it. I read a lot of books of mythology (both collects of myths as well as people anylizing their structure and meaning) I could have picked up that version just about anywhere I suppose it's hard to recall. None the less I think it makes a lot of sense. In most stories Hades tends not to trike me as the kidnapping type and even when he did take Persphone he didn't just immediately try to have his way with her as Zues probably would have done but instead tried to win her over with riches.

[@brian5870]

same tho!

[@shine8moon]

And I thought Zeus was the king of godd

[@strhea]

Ayanyaj Sivart yaas and i think uncle rick's versions are like the original ones or the one he believes on than thr other versions

[@jish55]

Funny thing is, in the original version, she wanders down, likes it, and stays there, even though Hades is confused why, then when her mother freaks out, she eats the fruit so she doesn't have to go back. Basically, she was forced to leave the underworld, which she felt at home with, because her mom forced her to remain single and alone, go figure.

[@amyliaclenny1866]

By how much does this version pre-date the popular version? I really prefer this version you described to the well known version. I just want confermation that this is the Origin of the myth.

[@btetirick]

@@amyliaclenny1866 It dates back to the ancient days of the 1970's when an author wrote it so she could have a version she could tell her daughter. To make it clear, the oldest known version of the myth is the kidnapping one, if an older non-kidnapping version exists, it didn't survive to modern times.

[@lemonarts4018]

[@glorycastillo5379]

Hyperdanceactivity4 Zeus raped Hera and when she tried to retaliate he tortured her and made her promised that she will never retaliate again. Also Hades didn't rape Persephone and is loyal to their marriage and that she can leave for spring.

[@leelo9421]

[@drekfletch]

Variations: Persephone was picking flowers with Hecate and some Nymphs. They were having a picnic of sorts. The nymphs were afraid to tell Demeter they'd let Hades kidnap her daughter, so Demeter punished them for withholding information. They're birds now. In the cosmology, the Underworld is as far below the surface as the sky is far above. (so about 50 miles.) Some vehicle is advised. Iambe was the old woman who tried to cheer Demeter up with dirty jokes. It didn't work, so she hid her face with her skirt in embarrassment. She wasn't wearing underwear, and Demeter laughed at that. There's a version where Hades says "You can't eat this food," but when Zeus summons her, she eats a few seeds in nervousness. (She's a stress eater.) My favourite version has Persephone choose to eat the seeds, 'cause she's fallen for Hades. Greece has three seasons: The wet season in winter, the growing season, and summer is hot and dry. Originally it was during that drought season that Demeter was mourning, not when everyone else is having a snowy winter.

[@oliverpaul1291]

I was eating a whole pomegranate and vaguely remembered it being apart of Greek mythology so I looked this up to listen to the story as I ate the pomegranate so I feel Greek Af and it was fucking awesome, I ate that shit by the handful

[@warriorcatskid003]

I like the “Persephone wandered down on her own and decided to live there” version best, because Hades and Persephone are like the only functional couple in Greek Mythology....

[@KG-ds2fj]

yea

[@LittleMissRequiem]

I absolutely agree. Not only is that the most palatable version from a moral/feminist standpoint, but if you look at the other myths involving the couple and the available evidence on each of them, there are several scenes and other details that simply wouldn’t make sense if their entire relationship had been based solely on kidnapping and deceit. There are quite a few examples of this that I could cite, but one of the clearest examples would be the story of Minthe: a nymph who once tried to seduce Hades (or in some versions was his ex-girlfriend prior to his marriage to Persephone) with varying degrees of success depending on the version, although by all accounts Hades’ interest in Minthe ranged from minimal to 100% nonexistent. In any event, Persephone wasted zero time putting a stop to Minthe’s efforts and turned her into a mint plant, which in turn highlights a few discrepancies between Persephone’s portrayal in her marriage story and her portrayal in the story of Minthe: *1)* If Persephone had been kidnapped and forced into marriage against her will to someone she didn’t really love, one would think that she would see Minthe’s advances as a relief and let Minthe do her thing, if not outright encourage Minthe’s advances. Persephone taking action against Minthe to such a strong degree, especially since by all accounts Minthe had no substantial success in seducing Hades anyway, shows that at some point Persephone had grown to want/love Hades just as much as he wanted/loved her (if not potentially more so). *2)* Notice how there is never any mention of Hades’ reaction to what Persephone did to Minthe. He is never mentioned as being angry at Persephone in any way, nor does he make any attempt to save Minthe or (if Minthe went far enough to become pregnant) to save any potential unborn children. This is a stark contrast to how the Olympian 12 (especially Zeus, e.g. the story of Dionysus and Semele) would generally react in the same situation, indicating that Hades had no real objection to Persephone punishing Minthe for trying to seduce him, which is not at all consistent with the stereotypical image of a kidnapper who forced Persephone into marriage (and as such would presumably have felt entitled to take on Minthe as a mistress if he really wanted to whether Persephone liked it or not).

[@StubbornProgrammer]

"Burn out the mortal bits of the baby." I can see how that goes in most cases. "Hey, funny thing... turns out the baby was all mortal. Yep. 100% mortal. No non-mortal bits at all. But hey, good news! Remember how you were worried they might not grow up to be a good person? No longer an issue. Definitely not a thing you need to worry about anymore." Also, today breakfast was porridge with brown sugar.

[@MonarchsFactory]

In fact, concerns about their future will never need to be worried about again!

[@NerdSyncProductions]

I ate donuts. More donuts than I originally planned. More donuts than should be eaten in one sitting. It was glorious.

[@MonarchsFactory]

I think unless you're throwing up it was the PERFECT amount of donuts.

[@NerdSyncProductions]

MonarchsFactory I try to live my life by that rule.

[@froebelvergara4759]

***** hey I ate donuts too.. Dael got me hungry.

[@guardianbb3]

There is also an interpretation that says that persephone would periodically sneak into the underworld before the kidnapping to have dates with hades and they eventually fell in love that way and eventually she chose to live in the underworld and get married to him.

[@Loremastrful]

To keep on Demeter's good side. I had cereal for breakfast. Couple of points about the myth. Hades is just following his big brother's example. You don't use a pick up line, you pick the girl up. And he probably heard chicks dig the ride so put some spinning rims on the chariot. Also Zeus wouldn't intervene because it'd violate his 'bros before hos' rule. If he starts ratting out his homies then everyone will feel at liberty to tell Hera or the searching family members (but especially Hera) where he is and who he's with. This view of the myth brought to you by Barney Stimson.

[@ZetatheSixth]

No. Hades did not kidnap Phersephone. She was feeling pressured by her over-bearing mother, Hades saw this and then asked for Zeus' permission to marry her. Zeus' knew Dimeter would never agree so he advised his brother to just come by pick her up like a leather jacket boyfriend in an 80s movie. They loved each other. And the only reason Zeus forced Hades to let his wife to go was to keep the crops from dying, and to stop Dimeter from bitching in his ear. Phersephone begged to stay with her love but Hades knew Zeus and Dimeter would never allow it so Hades told her about the seeds and even gave her a chance to refuse because he only wanted her to be happy. But Phersephone, refused and ate the seeds as fast as she could so she would see her love again or die and be his for all eternity.

[@MonarchsFactory]

Oh cool, I haven't heard this version! My source was the Routledge Handbook of Greek Mythology which uses the Homeric Hymn to Demeter from around the 7th century BC; what sources did you hear your rendition from?

[@ZetatheSixth]

MonarchsFactory It's around. Truthfully, stories from that long ago often have many varying version of what exactly happened as it get passed from person to person and they remember it differently ot edit it to suit them better. Medusa for instance is often portrayed very poorly as an evil monster, that is until you hear what circumstances led her to becoming that monster.

[@kyliedevries3696]

@@ZetatheSixth exactly, thats the thing with ancient mythology, there are so many different variations and ways and points of views that it is told from so we really dont know which would have been closer to the truth

There was another version where helios didn't see because the clouds were in the way and only zues could block helios view and demeter knew that zues had something to do with it, which he did. He told Hades to take Persephone.

This..... is.. perfection. All history should be told over breakfast.

[@sportsfreak33393]

"Please, I'll give you my toast"

[@freddy6081]

Interestingly, at least to me, Homer is quite specific about Persephone (Kore) being in the underworld for 1/3 of the year, which makes sense considering the constellation of Virgo (the Maiden) is invisible below the horizon (at least for the northern hemisphere) for 1/3 of the year.

[@roberthultgren9389]

I ate chocolate chip waffles at midnight, because breakfast/Dael. The version I heard had Zeus make a deal with Hades to help him capture Persephone by covering the entire world in a cloud while Hades goddessnapped her so no one would know who did it. When Demeter asked Helios what happened he said that he didn't see, and that it was weird that he didn't see because he always sees whats going on unless Zeus blocks his vision with a cloud, and it is at this point Demeter makes the connection and threatens to use an implement of harvest in the same fashion Chronos had on Uranus if Zeus didn't spill the beans.

[@Christopher_Lefevre]

Woke up at 6 AM, did morning chores and started relaxing ~ 7:45, had no desire to make breakfast. Yesterday I did the same, and didn't end up realizing that I was being lazy about breakfast till noon. Today though, I was going through your videos, and got to this one. Well I had to pause the video and go make my morning oatmeal for breakfast. Thanks for the reminder to not skip breakfast today!

[@markvicferrer]

I think I only lasted about 30 seconds before I decided to make some toast of my own. 😅 This is a lesser told version of the myth that focuses more on Demeter than Hades & Persephone. Good to hear another perspective.

[@feitocomfruta]

I watched this without breakfast :( That did give me an idea of a collab series you could do with someone: Myth Noms. Basically, you and this person would choose a myth, and then while you tell the story, they make a recipe inspired by the myth. For example, for Hades and Persephone, they could make a pomegranate smoothie, Sisyphus could be sausage balls or scotch eggs (beef for the cows and round for the boulder he has to push), etc.

I remember that I watched this video when I was twelve, and I was actually impressed of how much you looked like what I imagined that Persephone would be! I never bought this gothic redhead that most artists use when representing her. Since then, every time I read any mythology text, I immediately picture her with your face. Also, I kinda learned what exactly the story was by watching your video, so makes sense that I would be so marked by it. Now I'm seventeen, and I wonder if I'm not sounding like a creep commenting this thing five years after the video was released....

[@MonarchsFactory]

Hahaha, you might be disappointed with the answer -- It's actually just something I say to large groups of people in the real world (though usually it's "goodbye humans" most of the time). I accidentally said it at the start of videos two weeks in a row and then people noticed when it didn't happen and said they'd liked it, so I decided it should stick around. :D I don't say it quite as often in person nowadays, but that's how it began.

[@darksorceresszyra9467]

[@TheMimiSard]

Maybe that is because he was also one of the less favoured, which meant there were far less stories about him. He turns up in other stories, like Herakles, Theseus losing his ass, Orpheus - but only because they go to the Underworld. Hades seems to be a very orderly character - he's too busy running the Underworld to go out doing much of the crap the others do - this whole story of Persephone is the one time he did do such a thing.
