How Hades got a Goth GF - Greek Mythology Explained

[@GarryDKing]

Fun fact: many greeks back in the day were more afraid of Persephone than they were of Hades, giving her the name "Dread persephone"

[@Doomzdeh]

That’s probably because Hades was seen as one of the more moral gods back in that day, while Persephone had quite a few myths about her terrible anger, like when she turned one of Hades’ almost-mistresses into a mint plant so that she could never return to her river

[@amberrubysinger7744]

Persephone means "Bringer of Death" and she had another name, Kore, meaning something along the lines of "innocent maiden," when she was with her [helicopter] mom

[@meme6314]

This is from the time when Greek mythology was matriarchal

[@eunoia9998]

kore was her original name "maiden" and Persephone is "bringer of death"

[@shealupkes]

in terms of how long they were worshiped she's actually been around longer than him, she's the scary bringer of death while he vibes in the underworld doing a lot of boring paperwork

[@yessssssss754]

Zeus: You want to marry your biological niece? Hades: You literally married your sister, and had an affair with your other sister to make Persephone, I don't understand how I'm the creep here.

[@keeganm5399]

He straight up raped Demeter and killed his first wife, who was also his cousin, after a prophecy

[@BlueflameKing1]

"And literally how half the pantheon is your kids with other gods and humans." He even slept with the same family tree a few times to make hercules.

[@alexandergangaware429]

"Pharoh is a god-king, and he gets to marry his sister, so why can't I?"

[@Soren9302]

Literally Zeus just seems like an oversexual, all powerful, creepy self-insert

[@CM-ss5pe]

And, to be fair, it's not like the dating pool among ancient greek gods is that big. If a god wants to marry another god or even an important/heroic mortal, they will probably be related to them in one way or another.

[@CaptainphoenixofficialYT]

Hades truly is overhated. Personality wise, he's the best of his brothers and the best husband. On top of that, Persephone actually liked being queen of the underworld.

[@JinFreeks]

I THINK it has a lot to do with a) Christianity and how their ruler of the underworld is simultaneously the most evil thing that has ever been and b) ... Disneys Hercules.

[@blidea9191]

overhated? never heard of that. r u looking for "underrated"?

[@deadlight88]

It's not Hate, it's Fear. Hades ruled the Underworld. A cold and gloomy place. The people called him the Lord of Wealth, for all gems of the earth are His. They speak of Hades, if at all, in reference to his wealth as to speak of Him could draw attention. His and Thanatos were the Last names the common folk would willingly speak. Such is humanity's Fear of death, an easily exploitable fear for Christian missionaries. There were and are priests of each God of Greece yet still. And as before, secretive.

[@blidea9191]

@Dayton Green Studios didn't know that, lol. thanks!

[@ryan1000011]

well the fact that she was probably a underworld god before Hades even maybe exsisted means she'd have been fairly happy down there

[@nickwilliams2745]

If the pomegranate thing ever seemed weird to you it’s probably because the tablet that the myth was originally recover from is broken where it explains that part so the explanation is just assumed by whoever’s telling the story

[@clarehidalgo]

Though eating food from the realm of the dead making you have to stay there is a pretty common theme is several underworld myths around the world

[@Lazulii33]

What parts are unclear?

[@mokongthe3856]

Yeah, It seems weird, caused Everytime I hear the story it differ and differ at that part

[@thesleepydot]

@@clarehidalgo I might be wrong, but isnt the theme of “eating food from another realm forcing you to stay in said realm” common BECAUSE of the common *interpretation* of this greek myth?

[@viridia1526]

ALunarLight : i dont think so. Hades and Zeus make a deal so she stays there. She didn’t go back willingly. She ate the seeds and was exposed by Ascalaphus for eating them (which prompted Demeter to turn him into an animal) and so the deal was reached as a result. Persephone was explicitly said to be unhappy, when Hermes comes to rescue her she calls him ‘luck bearing Hermes’ bcs she knew she was finally going home.

[@noxlupa2996]

Fun fact, when Tantalus served his son to the gods to eat, but Demeter was too upset by the Persephone situation to pay attention so she actually ended up eating some of Tantalus' sholder, so the fact that Hades was going over his punishment here chronologically makes sense

[@SeBa-xb3jn]

Nice

[@ScarabGem]

Pelopse his son’s name is Pelopse

[@its_a_palimino]

And then when Clotho put him back together, since that piece was missing, she used a piece of ivory. So all the descendants had a white spot on their shoulder.

[@sonofcronos7831]

Tantalus was born way after this story. His great grandchild is Agamenon who lived in the time of the Trojan War so Tantalus is not that ancient. The only way to make sense is to say that Demeter was sad because Persephone was not with her so it was Winter or Autumm, but not during the time of the kidnapping.

[@its_a_palimino]

@@sonofcronos7831 yeah, so, um this is actually a myth. do your research

[@argon2532]

Hades honestly sounds like the kind of guy who finally meets someone who likes his ideas and fawns over them.

“Hey I like to rule dead people but nobody likes me.” “Aww! That’s a cute hobby!” “You’re my wife from now on.”

[@lordzeus2056]

Actually Zeus helped kidnap Persephone by covering the clouds, Helios didn't actually see Hades kidnap Persephone but did see the clouds covering up, which led Demeter to Zeus who confessed he helped. He probably was the one who suggested the idea.

[@bananabeans5046]

The original history completely absolves hades of any fault, mostly because more than a kidnap it was an arranged marriage, something that wasnt bad at the time, so all the blame is on zeus

[@darkela5_]

[@mo0nlight_vidsandmore441]

I’m pretty sure that originally Hades was like “Zeus man I’m struggling there’s this pretty girl I like but I don’t know how to marry her so what should I do?” And Zeus is like “Just kidnap her, it’s not that bad.”

[@JamzP14]

[@eddthehead123]

The thing I like about the Persephone thing is she really gets into her role as Queen of the Underworld. Referred to by some as "Dread Persephone" and immediately the one who comes to mind when someone is getting tormented by Furies in the Underworld.

[@akanesaotome5924]

If what Miscellaneous Myths says about her is true, han she was worship as a death god before Hades was, so maybe that's why.

[@BlueflameKing1]

Still gotta say, there relationship is still better than like 80% of the relationships in greek mythology. In some versions persephone is even okay with being queen of erebus. I also like the story where theseus and his friend tried to kidnap and marry persephone and hades lockd them in torture chairs.

[@russergee49]

Only modern “romanticized” retellings show Persephone being happy about her circumstances, though. There is only one source from antiquity that tells the story of how she became Hades’ wife, and it is very clear she is not happy about it.

[@BlueflameKing1]

@@russergee49 Fair point, but I also like how even in the old versions, it shows more that it was zeus's fault for allowing this marriage and basically giving her away with Persephone and demeter not having any choice. Though that may just be standard for the time, so who knows.

[@SamuelGalvan_]

“Only **I** kidnap Persephone!!!”

[@SamuelGalvan_]

“Only **I** kidnap Persephone!!!”

[@JakeDoubleyoo]

@@BlueflameKing1 In Ancient Greece, marriage was a matter ultimately decided by the bride's father. I imagine any good father would make an effort to match their daughter with someone they like, but in the end it's up to them, and the daughter and mother don't get a say. In The Hymn to Demeter (which you can read for yourself at theoi.com) it is made very clear that Persephone was at no point happy about the arrangement. The story probably reflects a very tragic reality that was common for women in that culture, and for their mothers who were helpless to protect them. That being said, Zeus is the Ancient Greeks' image of an ideal father figure. So I imagine in their minds, the decisions he makes for his children are ultimately going to be the right ones. And it's worth noting that from what we know of the tradition surrounding Persephone, it seems like she ended up embracing her role as Scary Death Queen™

[@bluecup1129]

I find it funny how Hades THE GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD is a better husband then Zeus

[@somerandom3380]

[@techno3712]

[@internetlurker1850]

Hades is a good guy tbh, with the exception of the time he kidnapped Persephone, but to be fair, Hades did not know how to do it and asked Zeus, whose advice was to kidnap her.

[@sorrowdanger4098]

[@OffSatan]

Love how arguably the most healthy married couples in greek mythology is the god of the underworld kidnaping his niece, or double niece I guess since both Zeus and Demeter are his siblings, and keeping her at his side against his will as his wife. Realy speaks to how low the bar is.

[@longphan7656]

people talk about incest and stuffs, and while it is morally wrong to most modern human society, the people in question here are the gods; and i doubt there's any drawback(like biological one for example) for the gods to commit incest with one another. and yeah standard is really weird overall from ancient time to now, the Greek or Roman or somewhere around those country accept homosexuality before accepting women is as equal as men(before Christianity spread that is).

[@viridia1526]

You have to remember that the ancient greeks projected human characteristics on the gods (Homer mentions this.) so actions taken by the gods (like Zeus agreeing to Hades’s proposal) were morally (and in this case legally) right. If you read on ancient greek wedding and proposal traditions it’ll make more sense. Personally i find that for this reason, you should learn ancient greek culture and history with greek mythology. It opens a huge lens to make a perspective out of.

[@theirishviking9278]

We don't actually know the full terms for why Persephone returns to the underworld regularly, the single surviving source for it is damaged in that part, There's also evidence that Persephone predates Hades(the God not sure about the place)existence, and that she's always had a connection to the afterlife, but oddly her only connection to plants is being the daughter of the goddess of spring and one of her titles being "Persphone the Harvester"(or something similar been awhile since I read that bit so memory might be faulty)

Heh, I'm sure someone mentioned it, but I like how in the version of the story done in the video game "Hades", Persephone just made up the BS about the pomegranate so she'd have an excuse to return to the Underworld regularly.

Yooo I need to study for this in a test that’s tomorrow

[@arikurata7352]

So this is how they explain winter huh? interesting

[@Hoodrattt]

I love how straightforward jake is

[@E1ns_2wei]

Wait... Jake only pasted the same picture of Persephone in her Instagram 6 times as if he just didn't feel like drawing 6 Individual pictures.

🔫 you know too much.

Hey, Jake! Maybe you could do a video on “Heracles”, Disney made a movie about them but I heard that most of what they told was false I did see a video on that and what really happened. Just an idea! (Also, love your videos, man keep up the awesome work!)

[@baconburgerboy1583]

I would love to see how you would portray the fallen angels. Y'know Lucifer and Lilith and all the other Deities from otherside.

2:08 WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, you forgot about baubo (lol)

[@Seek1878]

The land of the dead wasn't seen as a bad place, it was just where the dead went. Also you left out that Hades was minding his own business when Aphrodite sent Eros to shoot one of his arrows at Hades to set him up with Persephone.

Your best vid yet. What's next Jake?

[@WiseTheRizz]

Summary: he basically kidnapped his niece to marry him, and tricked her into becoming his wife FOREVER

[@officersoulknight6321]

A fellow Jake that likes sarcastic and oversimplified humor

[@anastasiagamgoneishvili]
