Gods'School - Hades and Minthe 

Thank you all for watching! I know that most of you were expecting a "Hades x Persephone" episode but this one had to come first ;) Next episode will be ready in Spring 2023... Follow me on Instagram and Tiktok for more content and animation process. Btw. here is the Instagram of Ivy Dupler who's voicing Minthe🎙🌱 instagram.com/ivydupler/

For those who don’t know, Leuke is a nymph who Hades loved and brought to the underworld. She lived there for the rest of her days and Hades turned her into the white poplar tree after her death.

Let's be honest. We're waiting for the Hadesephone ship to start smooth sailing.

Hey everyone! This is Ivy Dupler, the voice of Minthe! Thank you SO MUCH for your support & love for the show, I hope you enjoy watching Minthe as much as I enjoyed voicing her! 🎙️💚🌿🥰

Had so much fun voicing both Hades & Hephaestus! Thanks so much for the support everyone ❤️

For those of you wondering, Leuke (the white haired nymph who was petting Cerberus) was a daughter of the Titan Oceanus. Hades fell in love with her and abducted her to the underworld. She lived out the span of her life in his realm, and when she died, the god turned her into a white poplar which he placed in the Elysian Fields. To celebrate his return from the underworld, the hero Heracles crowned himself with a branch of this tree. As for Minthe, she is an Underworld Naiad nymph associated with the river Cocytus. She was beloved by Hades, the King of the Underworld, and became his mistress/concubine, but she was transformed into a mint plant by either his wife Persephone or his sister and mother-in-law Demeter. According to Oppian, Minthe had been Hades' mistress before he abducted and married Persephone, but he set her aside once he carried off and married his queen. Afterwards, she would boast that she surpassed Persephone in beauty and that Hades would soon return to her; in anger over the nymph's insolence, Persephone's mother Demeter trampled her, and thus from the earth sprang the mint herb. Oppian writing that she was trampled to death is perhaps an allusion to the verb μινύθω, minytho, meaning "to reduce." Orpheus wrote that Demeter, seeing the mint sad, hated it, and made it barren. Lastly, exactly how is Hades Charon's protégé? Charon SERVES Hades after Hades became ruler of the Underworld and Charon ferries the dead across the River Styx?

It’s definitely pretty interesting seeing how Minthe acts when she was first introduced vs how she acted when Hades first met her. Also I didn’t know who Leuke was until I looked her up

Aaaw! Cerberus is so cute! It’s so interesting to see how different Minthe acts here compared how she treats Persephone. I love how Hades is Charon‘s protege.

This show continues to floor me with how beautiful the animation and voice acting both are! 😊 Can't wait for the next episode

It's so sweet to see Hades represented as a nice and sensitive guy and not as a cruel and heartless demon for a change.

I hope that we get Hades and Persephone's story, the best couple in Greek mythology some day💖💖💖

For those wondering why Cerberus didn’t like Minthe - normal mint in small doses is fine but pennyroyal mint is deadly to dogs. Found this series on a whim- four months back. Worth the wait ❤❤

A new version of Minthe's story.. I like it. The version I knew was that Hades were already betrothed to Persephone as he met Minthe at the river Nyx. Persephone saw them together, became jealous and transformed her into weed. Hades softed her 'curse' and gave her an inpacable smell and taste. Possible context of the situations: • Persephone and Hades were already betrothed but not in love yet. She tried to make it work, and was angered because of what she witnessed. He didn't try. She had to leave home and spend eternity with someone who doesn't care. • Persephone was already in love with Hades, but he was crushing on someone else • They were already in love, and he cheated • Minthe made a move on Hades, and wanted to assault him. Persephone saved him and transformed her into weed. He thought this wasn't enough and gave her impacable smell, taste, but super annoyingly, thick, large roots. You can't get rid of them, and they take all the nutrients of all the plants nearby. As a reminder of the assault. It hurts when you try to get rid of mint. You pull, you chop and tear it apart. As an empath I feel the pain. That's why I think this context theory makes sense. A male god assaulted, you won't read that in a book. The story gets watered down, changed and the blame gets someone else. What do you think?

I can’t wait to see Poseidon fall in love with Amphitrite, Poseidon here is like a supportive excitable and kinda clueless puppy and I wanna see a bit more of him, and he’s really supportive and loving of his brothers. But this animation is incredible and I love the storytelling!

I Hope that we get some more Hephaestus and Aphrodite stuff some day ❤

i love how Poseidon is literally like the excited younger brother even tho he is like the second oldest XD he is literally my favorite✨

''Then you met Persephone, right?'' even Poseidon is excited about Hadesephone ship

I know we all want Persephone but this is necessary context and any Gods school episode is like a great gift. The voice acting is so good!!! And the animation so lived and the world design and characters are so pleasing to watch thank you so much

I am a fan of Greek mythology and the way you put it in this animation is amazing. Please don’t stop, keep going. As a subscriber I hope to continue to see you grow as a filmmaker.😁👍

I love this background story of how Hades and Minthe first met. Looking forward to the next episodes. You've created a superbe universe with great plot and I can't get enough. Plus, great animation, amazing quality of work, what a talent for one single animator! 👏👑 Btw. I'm sure Netflix will discover your project one day and it'll get the treatment, publicity and funding you deserve!

I like the detail of Cerberus not liking Minthe, sensing something in her. Probably i'm overthinking.

3:10 DAMN SHE'S MAKING THE FACE!!!!

This was wholesome. So cute to see them awkwardly flirting. So precious! Also I now require a Cerberus plush.

Oh! Because mint is poisonous to dogs! No wonder Cerberus doesn’t like her!

With every episode, the animation and voice acting improve by leaps and bounds.

Spanish comment because I speak better in spanish: He estado viendo esta hermosa serie crecer desde los primeros videos! Estoy tan emocionada por seguir viéndolo crecer y viendo todo el apoyo que está recibiendo, no me imagino lo especial que se siente el creador viendo como su proyecto que empezó tan pequeño, ahora está siendo cada vez más reconocido. Han sido años, actualmente tengo 19 años de edad, y si mi memoria no me falla diría que vi los primeros videos alrededor de los 13-14, no estoy segura, ha pasado mucho tiempo

OMG my first episode as a subscriber!! This is so exciting! Thank you for animating these! They’re so fun ☺️

I love this series! Little cerberus is so cute ahh!! I love them and the character designs!!

“It’s the paddle” *bites lip* Guuuurl 🥴🥴

Also, I miss Eris so much. She is my favorite goddess and it blew my mind when I found out about the series

anyone feel kind of bad for Minthe now? Like they had this attraction obviously and he just dumps her for Persephone...

This has gotten a lot better with the production value. Earlier ones, though the voice acting has been really good so far for all the eps, but the earlier eps had the background music, but now, you've got the perfect balance. Great job.:D

Oh, I _love_ this episode! This one might be my favorite so far. You'd expect a backstory of how Hades and Persephone met, but one for Minthe and Hades? It's so good! The title card was beautiful--I love the way the scent of mint is portrayed as soft green smoke. The meet-cute Hades and Minthe have was also adorable! It was like an inverted Little Mermaid where the dog finds the girl but doesn't like her. lmao And you brought in _Leuke_ of all characters, one so left out that even I forgot about her, that's how rare she is! All of this further gives me high hopes for this series. Yeah, I ship Hades/Persephone too, always did, but I absolutely adore it when Hades' other love interests are shown. I have other favorite deities, like Aphrodite, but the dynamic of Hades and his romances is my interest. I hate no one and just appreciate seeing all my little faves getting attention. Also, little detail I thought was so cute was Zeus holding the planet Jupiter at 3:52. Gorgeous work as usual, the next episode is going to be awesome! ❤

I love that tune Minthe was humming at 0:53!

These come out like once a year and I always drop whatever I'm doing to watch it.

OOOOOOOH Hades did have a crush on Minthe 😍 I also love how hades hair was before long and fluffy too!

I DON'T WANNA WAIT NEXT YEAR, THESE ARE SO GOOOOODD!!!!

Thank you to everyone who’s breathed life into these characters, the animation and the voice acting are stellar! I want this series to get more views, I can’t believe I get to watch it for free.

This is amazing! The animation, the story line, the art style, the voice acting, the character designs!!! Every single thing, from your research on Greek Mythology to including Greek translation. I am Greek and I wanted to say I feel very happy and very grateful. Thank you for this beautiful creation! Looking forward to the next episode! You're doing great!

Ah loved the smoothness of this, yeah these shorts are just the best~ Nice work from the voice actors, Ivy really does Minthe great, and seeing the best three headed doggo~ Can't wait to see what the next short will be, kinda lets us have good background for alot of these gods etc :D

0:42 me: hey buddy, what's going on?

Oh! Leuce! I had to look it up to figure out who Hades was referring too. But yeah, this is the cutest thing EVER! Hades is such an amazing character and I’m in love with him now too, NGL 😂❤ Amazing job team!

Thank you so much to everyone who worked so hard on this! I absolutely love these episodes 😊

This show has brought me so much nostalgia, as it gives me the same feelings as those I got watching the cartoons I did when I was younger.

Poseidon: "Can hardly wait for more of this, bro."

Not Poseidon being full team Persephone 😂💗

2:49 light skin stare

This is honestly the most excited I've been for a Gods School release so far

*Cerbus is best boy* Edit: i love how cereus knew minthe was toxic and dangerous before he/we did

I really don't understand how this isn't a new series on Netflix or something I stumbled across watching tv and I only discovered this gem because I was wandering on yt bored out of my mind. Really, from my point of view (I'm definitely not an expert in animation or creating shows and all the process and work behind it), from the point of view of a spectator - who adores all things related and about greek mithology - this is marvelous! I could watch this for an eternity, the story seems promising and I'm looking forward to see how it'll develop itself, the animation and the characters are top notch, there are endless possibilities for the creation of new content it's the perfect show! It has so much potential it's widely underrated. Thank you for putting it here for all of us to see and appreciate

This makes me feel bad as every myth of Minthe I've read is that she gets violently trampled to death by either Persephone or Demeter, who then turn her into the mint plant

I was not expecting another one of these - but that's why I love this even more. The breathtaking animation, amazing and fitting voice acting, and the characters make this story what it is omg. Hades and Persephone are the cutest, but we can't forget Minthe 😂

I adore every single episode you make!! It would be wonderful if we had an episode or two introducing all the different characters! They are all brilliant ❤

I like how Zeus looks like Disney Hercules

Loved every second! Please continue to make as many as you can! I am a huge fan! 🎉

i love presephone but i really love these 2 together so much

Can't wait for Hades and Persephone, butI am ready to see Minthe and Hades story~

really appreciate the updates!! I've been following since the early days so I really appreciate all the content and how much the team has grown. Keep it up!!!

Baby Cerberus is so cute! Keep up the good work everyone involved with this project.

Wow, some design changes. I like the new Cerberus design (absolutely nothing against the previous one though, it was really adorable!) I can't tell you how much I enjoy Hades having the spotlight. First of all because he is literally my favorite Greek God. And second, it gets tired and old having Hades in most media be portrayed as an evil being when he really isn't? I know Greek Gods are messed up, but Hades isn't THAT bad comparing him to the rest of the pantheon. Anyways, beautiful work, animation voice acting and everything. I really need the next episode to be Hades and Persephone centric though XD I mean, come on, it's going to come out for Spring!! Thanks for the show👏👏👏👏

I stumbled upon this series by accident a long time ago when the pilot came out and I was mesmerized by how gorgeous the animation was and how the story is written. Amazing job and please keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the next episode.😁

I need more of Hades and Leuke!!!!

I love this show! each episode just looks better and better, you should be proud of it. indie animation is so great!

YES I have been awaiting this day

It just keeps getting better and better the more you make! I am sucker for good animation and Greek Mythology and this is great

One of my new favorite series. I cannot wait for the next episode! The animation is on point and I love all the voice actors. They do a phenomenal job

Finally, they uploaded!!! I've been waiting for the next episode for like 4ever!!!

Hades y Mente se veían bien lindos, espero que igual podamos ver cómo Hades conoció a Perséfone 💕 Gracias por el episodio, cada vez se ve mejor la animación :D

Soooo good! I was wondering when I’d get to see more episodes so the notification today was a happy great surprise. I really love your work and the animation is just perfect!

Are these vids COMPLETELY fan made???? This is remarkable..!!!

EHEHEHEH PM SEYMOUR IS SO GOOD AT VOICE ACTING

aww little Cerberus is so cute!

Persephone is so beautiful. I'm in 💕

OMG, I love this series! Congratulations to all involved in this project for their creativity and talent.

2:18 Why did I hear Hades is “Karen’s protege” LMAO 😂

Leuke is so cute!!! Amazing episode!! Good work!! I believe Cerberus doesn't like Minthe for a reason. Usually animals smell evilness...

This is better than anything Disney is doing right now. I missed 2D animation. Great acting and character design

This was a really great episode! Animation, characters, story, and voices were all on point. I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH ❤

Hades is such a pure bean!!!

Man after watching Disney for so long its nice to actually view some fresh animation. VERY incredible and well done GODS School :) loved it from start to finish

I loved this!! This show never fails to impress

This is amazing! So cool to see this level of quality coming from independent production.

OMG!!!! THE NEXT EP IS HEREEEEE!

Looking forward to the next episode, dude. Keep up the good, underrated work

Um episódio por ano é de chorar. Animação linda e a dublagem também. Parabéns💛

So much pleasure to watch your short animations ! I love them, and I'm longing to see the rest of the stories !! It is so well done, and the drawings are just amazing. Thank you for sharing your art :)

I love this team❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I can't be more happier when I find out there's a video coming, keep up the amazing work, I'm a huge fan

These two are awkward and I love it so much.

Will we see Pirthious and Theseus? Perseus? Any mortals? Persephone? Hestia? Poseidon? Any more gods? Edit: forgot to mention, I love the gossip moment between the boys!!!

SO glad you are doing these! Great work!

Incredible, as always! I'm looking forward for each new update. Always worth the wait!

Aww, eventually you’ll get to Persephone and how terribly tragic it all is. You’d think after Minthe Hades would’ve learned.

I'm so glad I found this great mini series months ago. As a hopeless romantic -I liked it immediately. 😅 I really love all your episodes If my Info is correct: Knowing that it's all driven by one person So much love and effort you put into it! - And also you guys, from the voice acting Scene! ✨ This need´s way more Attention you deserve it! Hugs and Tons of love from Germany ♥

How have I not heard of this series before? The visuals are stunning and the writing feels so.. Real. This is incredible!

I’m so happy I found your channel some years ago :)

I love this show so much ❤ eagerly awaiting the next episode!

I won't minthe words - this is my favorite story.

I really need this to become an actual series, with a big budget!

finally ✨ I hope next episode can see Hades and Persephone, they're my fav ship on Greek Mythology before Hephaestus and Aphrodite 💕 keep going ✨ can't wait for the next episode ✨💕

It gets better and better for each episode ❤️ keep up the work❤️😊
