Tbh as a kid I thought hades was evil as well but that was Hollywood stuff with movies like Hercules, clash of titans, percy jackson the lighting thief (those are the only movies I know where he's evil). But doing some research of the Greek gods... Hades out of the 3 is pretty much the chill one and is more loyal to his woman than the other two. And pretty much was ok with Hercules to bring cerberus to the king for one of his 12 labors as long as cerberus wasn't hurt.

[@petsan97]

Fun fact, the greeks were sorta scared of Hades on basic principle. He was the one who could make their eternity highly unpleasant after all. But he was afforded great respect as well, usually referred to as Stalwart Hades, i.e. loyal, reliable and hard-working. Meanwhile Persephone, nowadays thought of as some kind of flower goddess, was known as Dread Persephone, when they dared say her name at all. Usually she was just referred to with titles because they were bloody terrified of attracting her attention. Straight up "She who must not be named" stuff. Overly Sarcastic Productions did a great video on it a while back. Can recommend.

[@petsan97]

@UCBq0S16q4OF9bLBn3ouZhNw Pretty much, although since she was primarily worshipped by mystery cults that were highly secretive, we don't actually know why people were so scared. There's even signs that Persephone and Demeter are based on a pair of *really* old and kinda eldritch goddesses that predate the greek entirely, kinda like Pan. Needless to say, the modern idea of Persephone as some dainty delicate flower is missing just a tad of the original story.

[@HuyNguyen-wq1lx]

The only tale I can remember him losing his cool was when Theseus(?) and another dude went to the underworld asking to take Persephone with them, which made him furious. But I guess that reaction was understandable

[@thejava.witchiswhispering]

He's also rich from death tributes (coins used to pay Charon's fare.) Hades' position in Greek myths poised him to act like Hel during Ragnarok: Take his legions of the dead from the beginning of time and overthrow everything, bringing the end of the world ( although if the Greeks had an end of the world myth, I don't know it.) My point is that he's also the richest God in the number of subjects in his kingdom.

Ares, Demios and Phobos attack with their legions on Mount Olympus, seeing they may die Zeus asked his son what he wanted and Ares said for the gods to no longer enter the mortal affairs and close the gates(doors) to the human world and Zeus does passing a law that no god is to ever cross to humans

[@angge_0509]

Out of all the Gods, Hades is the most fair and good. As long as you do your part of the deal then he will help you. Perfect example was him letting Hercules have Cerberus help him as long as he doesn't hurt Cerberus. In the case of Persephone, sure at the beginning it was against her will but Hades ended up making a garden for her in the Underworld and in the end gave her a choice to leave to stop Demeter from neglecting her duties if Persephone doesn't come back with her. In the end it was Persephone who decided to divide her time between the Underworld and Olympus. He doesn't go around tricking others to do his bidding or forcing himself to others.

[@Creym464]

He is the definition of " sure its underworld but ,we have law and order"

The thing is Hades is loved by heroes in the Greek myth because 90% of the time he would help them without having them to give him a gift or something, while the other gods and goddesses expect u to burn a city or sacrifice thousands of slaves as an offering so that they can send some wind up to show they support the kings or queen Also Hades is the strongest god in Olympus because when Ares waged war against Olympus, zues and the rest of god's couldn't do anything as they were not in their full power because of how they spend their time raping women and children while Hades was honing his skills in the underworld anyway, when Hades swore to destroy Olympus Hades approached him and told him to creat a peace treaty with zues or else Hades himself would wage war against Ares with his army of the dead and seeing how Ares most powerful soldiers were from Hades army frightened him and thus Olympus was at peace but no gods could come down

At least he's not like his brother Zeus right.

Most of the people think Aries is a badass but he's ironically a coward for someone who's a god of war. So yeah, he's definitely misunderstood. Ares is the worst of all olympians.

[@brandonbradley8480]

Actually, persephone DIDN'T choose to spend her time in the underworld. First, Hades was tricked into kidnapping her after getting bad advice, then one of his servants tricked her into eating the food of the underworld (the same boy she turned into a snake who was then stepped on and killed...all because he thought she was beautiful) And when Hades informed Zues about this, he decided that she would spend part of each year in the underworld because of that. So no, she doesn't willingly return to the underworld each year...she does it by Zues' command. And we ALL know what happens if you disregard something Zues has explicitly told you to do it no uncertain terms. But, that's really the ONLY bad thing Hades has ever done. And it was all because he was given bad advice. The servant acted on his own because he wanted revenge against persephone. He wasn't acting on orders from Hades. So had PERSEPHONE not been such a bitch, she wouldn't have to spend part of each year in the underworld...that's on HER, not Hades.

Persephone was in love with hades and hades wasn't forcing her to stay. The myth goes that persephone, daughter of dimitra the God of food, was kidnapped by hades because he loved her but since dimitra was sad no food could go. So persephone went 6 months to hades and 6 to her mother. So that explains the change of the seasons warm when persephone is with dimitra and cold when she is with hades. ( a story from a Greek)

Persephone didn’t choose to split her time up between the underworld and the living. Her mother Demeter the goddess of agriculture was devastated when she found out her daughter was taken. So In her depression the crops of the world were dying. So as a compromise because Persephone ate the fruit of the underworld and couldn’t technically return, Hades allowed her to visit her mother for 6 months out of the year. But besides that last part spot on video mates.

[@SpectralKnight]

I mean Demeter did literally blackmail Zeus by threatening to let all of humanity die. Zeus then had to step in and be like: Hey bro, I know I kinda shafted you on the whole domain thing, but could you do me a solid? Could you let your wife leave even though she broke the clearly defined rules about food from the underworld?

Hades is definitely better than the other gods but he kidnapped persephone, gave her a pomegranate and didn't tell her that if she ate it she couldn't leave so she ate it and got stuck the only reason her time is divided is because hemes wanted to help her so argued that she only ate half then she was given time above and below but in that hades is the only other three brothers who kept his promise of not having children with mortals tho he kinda can't have kids but he has one singular child and thats all, meanwhile posiden and Zeus decided to explore every loophole turning into animals, roman forms and a few others I don't remember

Welp, we all know what would Zeus and Poseidon do if they are on the same situation. They would just r*ape her and imprison her for eternity.

That ain't how most versions go though. Most simply have her eat half the fruit on her own. Persephone then stays in Hades for a while. But her mother got too sad she couldn't see her daughter that often. Then her mother starts yelling at Zeus. And threatens to make harvests fail thus killing all the humans. Zeus then brokers a deal wherein Persephone stays in the underworld some of the time, and visits family some of the time. At some point Persephone and Hades decided to get married.

[@gluten1221]

Hades the only guy with a real job here, not to mention that his role in the underworld involved aiding wayward souls and helping them find peace

[@ricaivory6571]

Persephone was actually tricked into splitting her time there by eating food from the underworld from Hades. 6 pomegranate seeds, leading to the seasons (fall and winter when she's there and spring and summer when she's with her mother on earth). Its debated how she got to the underworld. Hades was gonna let her go if she hadn't eaten any food at all. Also to note, Zeus helped him kidnap her since he had so much experience in it.

[@rebeccaz.8234]

In earlier versions Hades didn't even take persephone to begin with, she just wandered right into the Underworld. Because Hades treated her like an equal she was just like "I'm staying here! You cant make me go back!" and it was only because her mom was pitchin' a fit up top that she agreed to split her time. Zues' involvement is endlessly debatable though!

[@SpectralKnight]

Also it was like one of the two rules he had. 1) Don't eat my food or you have to stay here. As the food here is weird and magical. 2) Don't mess with my work, especially Tartarus. She broke rule 1 man. And it wasn't like he wasn't open about those rules.

I thought about this a long time ago when I started looking into more Greek mythology- also historians theorize that Persephone is even more connected to the underworld more than Hades. She’s believed to be draw from old and old Aldrich goddess that we don’t even know the full description of cause she goes way back (this is still all theories though and historians are still researching this)
