And that was a part of the reason why he was so sad and morbid all the time and why he never goes to Mount Olympus because of the grudge he holds against his brothers for basically betraying him in such an unfair act. ....

I remember hearing a bit more detail of the story of Orpheus. Orpheus had played so beautifully, that an iron tear fell down Hades' cheek. When he left with his wife, Eurydice, he did as he was told. He did not look back throughout his entire trip out of the underworld. Once he was outside, he turned around to see his wife. Unbeknownst to him, she was still a step too far behind. She was still in the underworld. Hades' condition was that both Orpheus and his wife were to be out of the underworld before he could look. So his moment of joy was cut short, as she was dragged back down to Hades. Gotta love the old Greek stories lol

[@brianvance1178]

Zeus is My King Zeus may be the king of the gods, and the king of Olympus, but you have to admit that for all his grandeur and power he isn’t really the best at controlling his temper, and his other brother Poseidon seems to have much the same issue though to a lesser extent. Hades is by far the best of all three and also the most level headed. He has the power to unleash an army of literally everyone who has ever died in the history of the world, stop people from dying, and drag literally everything made of anything found under the earth’s surface directly to him. With all of that, I think Hades can do far more damage to the world than either of his two brothers and that it is a damn good thing he keeps a lid on his temper

[@brianvance1178]

Axel Lopez Garcia false! He never touched Hestia, who is an eternal virgin, and he never raped Hera, he married her and made her his wife. Demeter, on the other hand, is the only sister Zeus did in fact rape, and Persephone was the result. Poseidon raped Demeter too you know, though I forget the name of the child that resulted from that event

[@razoredge8256]

yep, Hestia raped = end of the world in Greek myth.

[@brianvance1178]

razor edge Zeus is a shitty guy by most standards, but the one thing he would never do is allow his eldest sister to be raped even by himself. He’s done a lot of things as king of the gods but he would never do something that might jeopardize his own rule

I think the game Hades does a really good job depicting the real personality of Hades: stern, fair, and deep down emotionally receptive to others. As one who deals with death, he understands the value of life to mortals. The gods of Olympus are too busy living their own lives to care for the lives of their followers. Not as often as they should, anyhow. Unless they are someone the gods like, love, or want to bed.

[@TheLostArchangel666]

Hades is the true worthy king of Olympus. If he were to ever rise up against the tyranny of Zeus, I would support him fully. The kidnapping of Persephone was his worst and only true crime, and that was on advice of his youngest (or, going by second birth out of Kronos, oldest) brother - and after the fact he has been nothing if not faithful to his wife, even granting co-rulership, something that Zeus wouldn't even dream of giving to Hera. On top, by birth, Hades is the firstborn. He is worthy of the title and would make a just and fair monarch; he is less stricken by pride and arrogance and selfish greed than Zeus is, I would argue, and is altogether a superior deity.

Hades is also my favorite male god out of all of them. I agree that he is most misunderstood because of his position. However, in a game that I play called Goddess primal chaos, Hades is a companion (if so choose) to fight along side you as a Hero. So it proves that Hades has the view as a helper or (as you said in the video) a peron who can give others a chance to get what they want. I hope Hades gets a lighter view as a person in the future...

Why do people in modern social media try and portray Hades as someone evil? He’s not exactly evil or “the devil” he just collects souls and guides those to their next place. Either in Elysium (which is like Heaven) and the Tartarus (like Hell) He is a misunderstood figure. He embraces the good in those and values life. Why do you think he is the god of the underworld and souls? Yes he may have kidnapped Persephone..but he showed his true actions and emotions later on. She was never tricked and saw his real true self. He even has a better relationship with Persephone than Zeus has with Hera.

Hades didn’t trick Persephone, he showed her his true self and she fell in love with him for his true self. Persephone saw a side to Hades that no other has ever seen. Edit: I understand that you’ve read a different version of it than I have, you don’t need to comment about it.

[@ralphize5153]

In some myths it was kind of consensual (she got tricked but fell in love with him) but in most depictions of the myth she was just kidnapped by him.

[@foxtrotgaming1283]

From what I know the oldest version of the myth involves Persephone being fed up with Demeter being so overprotective that she runs away and finds and entrance to the underworld in a meadow. She wonders for a bit before she finds and encounters Hades who asks her “pretty girl what are you doing here you are not dead” she tells him everything and then declares she lives in the underworld and no matter how much Hades said it would be better for her if she left she refused every time. Hades showed her great hospitality and eventually the two fell in love and got married. Hades told Persephone that if Demeter found out she may never be able to see him again. When she ask if they is a way to stay with him he tells about the underworld food and she willingly eats 6 pomegranates. When Demeter finds Persephone she orders Hades gives her back and refuses to allow harvest until she is returned. Zeus gets involved and seeing and neither Persephone or Demeter would back down Hades and Zeus come up with the idea that Persephone will spend 6 months in the underworld and 6 months in Olympus. I prefer this story as it shows that Hades is willing to sacrifice his happiness temporarily so that the mortals do not die of starvation and also portrays Persephone as strong willed which make sense as Persephone was feared more than Hades because of how cruel her punishments could be.

[@LittleMissRequiem]

FoxTrot Gaming Not only that, but on the ONE occasion in mythology in which Hades’ fidelity to Persephone is put to the test (by Minthe, and even then by all accounts Minthe had no lasting success with Hades), Persephone wasted no time putting a stop to it and getting rid of the would-be mistress, which by all accounts didn’t really bother Hades at all. IMHO it doesn’t make sense for Persephone to get jealous like that or for Hades to be okay with Persephone doing such a thing if their whole marriage was really based entirely on kidnapping and coercion.

I had prayed wondering about Hades specifically. Going through some different idea processes. Why was he god of the underworld? Did he choose it or was he punished? Who was he really! This came to me and answered some of those questions. Hercules came to me last May in 2019 and it makes me happy in my heart to know that he asked for Hades permission and also returned Cerberus first upon taking him. I’m not familiar with Greek Mythology but it has subtly followed me around. Also, I have much love for the gods, but I’m realizing that they are just oversized humans who act even more volatile and vain than a human. That does not settle with me very well. I do take into consideration what must be done was done for the evolution of events to play out? Why was it so necessary and what if events were different?

Zeus chose his domain first, and Hades was left with the Underworld despite being the oldest. I think part of why Erebus didn't argue about this, even though he could have made a strong case and even had a chance in a fight over it, is because of what came with the different domains. Had he taken Zeus' place he would have had Zeus' responsibilities, whether or not Zeus was good with those responsibilities is another matter. But Hades wasn't interested in that. There was power there, sure, but there was also power in the Underworld and far more wealth. There was potential for growth which Olympus lacked. Hades is far more patient, more level-headed, and probably realized that Zeus' greed and ambition worked to Hades' own advantage. Hades has a palace and a constantly growing population as it is his world which the dead go to. Zeus has a bunch of gods that may or may not want him dead and a large population of demigods with daddy issues.

[@LittleMissRequiem]

If you’re interested in other non-evil portrayals of Hades, here are a few more that I know of off the top of my head: *LORE OLYMPUS ::* This comic on WEBTOONS centers primarily around the budding romance of Hades and Persephone in a modern-ish setting, with the mortal realm set in Ancient Greece while Olympus and the Underworld are portrayed as relatively modern (with Hades as the king/CEO of the latter). Hades is portrayed as having a lot of emotional baggage, including trauma from his ordeal with Kronos, but all in all he’s portrayed reasonably well given the setting. *MYTHIC WARRIORS: GUARDIANS OF THE LEGEND ::* Hades doesn’t get all that much screen time in this show aside from the Hades/Persephone episode, but by all accounts he’s generally portrayed as an okay guy and somewhat socially awkward before and during his interactions with Persephone. In fact, he gets extra brownie points here for explicitly NOT wanting to keep Persephone in the underworld against her will (though he does make every possible effort to persuade her to stay) and is super-pissed at the villain of that episode (a lizard-guy who wanted to get back at Demeter for something she did in the past) for tricking Persephone into eating the seeds, for which he promptly punishes said villain. *CLASS OF THE TITANS ::* TBH I haven’t seen much of this series, but by all accounts Hades is clearly not in a villainous role (the main villain being Kronos) and is overall portrayed as a pretty chill guy. My only real complaint about his portrayal here would probably be his voice (he’s portrayed as having a very high-pitched voice with a semi-British accent), but even then I can more or less let it slide, mainly because it adds to the cuteness factor of all his lovey-dovey moments with Persephone whenever they’re onscreen together.
