Hades - Assorted Hades/Persephone post-credits interactions 

I know it's good but seeing this made we want to save up and buy a copy to personally experience (that and I've already wikidived Hades so watching this isn't much of a spoiler 👌)

I'm fine with that, because now I want to play the game and see how we got here

don't care, could listen to a lovelly story from finish to start or any point

Never gonna be able to play this so might aswell spoil it

Now let's be fair... this is kinda awesome, and I still want to play it for the asskick that the game has to offer.

DEADPANSTARE Hang on, I'm too sober for this conversation.

@@bthsr7113 Hades: and then he turns himself into a fackin goose! Persephone: You mean swan Hades: He called it a goose because the next thing he said to this lady was ‘Hey baby! The Zeus Goose is Loose and ready to give you his Goose Zeus *_JUICE!_*

@@Abdega i almost choked laughing dfsajkfdasjkfasjk

@@Abdega the worst part is I can actually see Zeus saying exactly that. Word for word.

The F***boy of the century.

Demeter: Say Zagreus, did you ever hear the old saying 'Grandparents and grandchildren get along so well because they have a common enemy?’ Zagreus: Do tell … 😏

I mean…he is 🥰

Classic grandmother behavior.

@@Abdega Hades: 😒 Persephone: And she wonders why I never told her. 🤦‍♀️

The way she calls him little sprout even before she found out he was her grandson that was rather cute

If you pick the short version, we'd be here for about...5 minutes. You want the whole explanation we gonna have to have a whole day for me to air my grievances.

​@@astralguardian5930a whole day? Try a whole month telling Zeus' sexcapades

​@@erichfiedler1481that is just the ones who agreed, the ones who didn't or where mislead are a couple years

(Picks out a book) which one do you wish to hear first? The one with the bull or the one with golden rain?” “Father, did uncle Zeus pee on Aunt Hera?” “Oh, fates. I wish it were that simple.”

Zagreus: (traumatised for life and sits in the corner swinging in a traumatic way)

there are even fan theories (including a gamecanon-compliant fanfic with Theseus) that Persephone is the one who came up with the punishment

Oh yeah, Theseus and Pirithous 100% deserved that.

@@selenopheria That’s for sure. They even had plans for Helen of Troy, who, by that point, was only like ten years old.

@@Savagewolver Mmhmmm. The brothers wanted to marry daughters of Zeus, which Helen was. Theseus settled on her and when she wound up being a child, they're just like "well she won't STAY a kid..." The plan was to keep her until she was...legal. HEUGH

@@selenopheria Or, rather, until she was “fertile.”

they probably made Melinoe after the party-

@@nieryreva8280 but Melinoe is trying to get into the underworld, so somewhat true? By being absent as a mother, I mean.

@@biggsdarklighter0473 Personally, I think Mel is either going to be a child of Hades and Hecate that he had with her after the big breakup with Persephone OR we're dealing with a "Parent Trap" situation where Zag and Mel were born as twins but one was revived in the underworld and bound to it while the other was revived by Hecate and probs bound to her by some magic BS.

@@i_are_gm122 she has features of both Hades, and Persephone, so her parentage is out of question. As for the rest... well, I suppose we shall see, it could be the case of us getting deeper into the Underworld instead of getting in from outside. And the thing is about Hades's lore: if you want to figure it out, you go and study the mythos. The lore so far sticks as close to them as possible

I personally like to believe they're blindsiding us, like the Hades we saw was actually an older Zag, because she only called him father she didn't specifically say Hades. I doubt it's true but my initial thought to the new protag was that was Zagreus and Meg's kid 😅

Dionysus: boyfriend Hermes: bae

than does not have to be a homie

Wait a minute, Dionysus is the homie, then thanatos is the boyfried

Zeus is both uncle and grandpa actually, except in Minoan and Mycanean culture from what we've gathered. Poseidon was top God then and was in the father role. Overly Sacastic Productions did excellent videos on the matter

@@diethylmalonate Dionysus as Zagreus's boyfriend makes me uncomfortable...I prefer him as homie.

Not to mention that when someone attempts to sway either Hades or Persephone, the other tends to either tie them to chairs for eternity, or worse If someone was to kidnap Hera I’d be willing to bet that Zeus would have to be told his wife is missing before he did anything about it

my headcanon is that when Zag relayed that to his parents, Persephone laughed so hard she melted onto the floor, while Hades did a slow facepalm

Long shot... 720 one mile no scope, yep.

More times than I've eaten bread

Well he did once. But persephone did to so it equals out

As the saying goes: Persephone lied ass naturally as she breathed

"So that was a fucking lie"

True

Considering Athena was effectively born on accident from just Zeus randomly thinking "a woman in armor... THAT'S HOT!!!" having more children whose existence she's unaware of wouldn't be surprising. I wouldn't be surprised if she's Zagreus's daughter in this canon though considering she apparently is trying to assasinate Kronos, the concept of time in prison to save her father.

@@elixxon Hades: *Saw Persephone cuddling beside him when he wakes up* Hades, thinking to himself: "Man, my wife is beautiful." (Hades feels something poking out of his forehead) Hades, softly: "Oh no"

I mean, he did cheat on Persephone with a woman named Minthe in some versions of the story

But yeah, compared to literally everybody in greek mythology, his relationship with his wife is pretty good

@@mcspankies2993 I'm pretty sure Minthe was either an ex he dumped after meeting persephone or it like an open relationship thing going on and persephone was fine with it until minthe started boasting about how she was better than persephone or something.

It's an apt summary though. Except Zeus isn't usually the one who gets the consequences in a meaningful way.

Understatement of the Century

Zeus has at least a hundred children that he barely even interacts with. He’s too busy giving the milk if you know what I mean

@@miavika1074 Moooo

ZUUUUEEEES

Nothing beat working out with your parents.

“So, boy, how’s your day been?” “It’s been quite alright!” “That’s unfortunate for you, because I’m about to change that.”

I almost threw a fight once because I was laughing so hard at Hades arguing with Zagreus not cleaning his room. It's so strange how a scenario i thought was so dramatic and sad could be changed just by a few voicelines.

Saw video, where in one moment of the fight they simple star joking around with each other, it's a bit silly comments about persephone, but i don't know know, i love it it's make look like they actually really father and son!

@@FredwardDrawn "Why are you not cleaning your chambers with such ferocity?" "What, so they look like your boring chambers?" "You take that back about my chambers!" "Boring, i say."

And maybe macharia on the way

I think the main draw of their dynamic is that it isn't all healthy, but the unhealthy parts are actively acknowledged by the characters, and the story doesn't romanticize or put it down

@@diethylmalonate still the most healthiest by far. Hades of course not being a cheating bastard

@@diethylmalonate That's what makes it healthy. The fact that they address the dark sides of themselves in the relationship, but yet they work around and even improve.

Technically, they’re all dead. Get it? I’ll find a door.

Not that rare.

Something tells me a writer was a fan of a certain old fic of Heracles 1997 whom loved to use the Kore name and introduced Hades/Persephone to many kids.

@@falconeshield what is this fic?

@@falconeshield well dont leave us hanging, what’s the fic?

​@@theoverlord3937i think thry mean the old disney hercules film but i don't think persephone/kore shows up

It's probably foreshadowing for Chronos

Well until he hears what Zeus did cause it just makes him spit his coffee in discuss

I mean in the original legend she just stumbled into the Underworld and got lost... The kidnapping was added later.

@@patrickbuckley7259 I think they were referring to all the incest, since technically Persephone is Hades’ niece by BOTH Zeus and Demeter, but they took that aspect out

@@HinataElyonToph OK, fair...

@@HinataElyonToph isn’t Zeus being her dad only in one version?

@@patrickbuckley7259 Oh, that version was actually made up recently (around 1978) in book "Lost goddesses of early Greece". The book "claims" it's pre-patriarchal *but* with no primary sources to back it up, making it essentially a fan fiction. Not that I have any issues with fanfictions, or the Dreaded death bringer. Just... bringing up fanfictions when discussing canon is something I've grew to hate.

He is the Messenger.

This is why you pay your messenger the top Obol.

well he was the one who bought Persephone!

@@hirahiro2331 yes but that role also belongs to Hekate. I find it interesting that she wasn't included in the game. Though it's very fitting that Hermes always knows what's going on.

@@Donnetellotheturtle. in this version?

Hades is actually a very sincere dude. Yes, he's stubborn, grumpy, and uptight, but he cares to maintain his domain and tend to those in his employ. Never directly, but he's a good dude overall.

@@ByrneBaby he's like a strict boss who is actually very nice, which he rarely shows to anyone, since he has a reputation to uphold.

@@ByrneBaby well he is the most powerful god unlike his brothers who have to overcompensate for everything he just needs to keep his house in order since everyone becomes his subject in the end and his also the god of wealth since all gems and metals come from the ground. i can also understand why he wanted to keep his kid away from the olympians theres like maybe 3-4 good ones out of all of them.

@@Kris-wo4pj I´m counting Hestia, anyone else?

@@Kris-wo4pj It is pretty easy to not be that grumpy towards Hades when one has some knowledge about mythology. Or at least Zeus'... uh... adventures.

there is also makaria so, yeah..... maybe she just doesn't know how it works lol. Honestly wouldn't be surprised

@@dioshoes9096 I'm sorry for asking, since I'm the only one who doesn't know, but don't Thanatos and makaria share the same area of expertise? Given that both take care of predominantly nonviolent deaths? (For those who don't know, Ker (Thanatos' Sister) or the Keren take Care of the violent deaths), so I thought thanatos' responsibility were the non-violent deaths.

@@biggsdarklighter0473Macaria’s domain is blessed death which I can understand the potential overlap with Thanatos since he handles nonviolent death. From what I understand from my previous research, which I’ll admit now might be rusty: Macaria is more of a psychopomp for those who were throughly innocent (like young children) or throughly “blessed”, like those who lived throughly fulfilled lives, or those who, for a lack of a better term, are saintly. She would be the ones to transport beloved/non hypocritical priests and priestesses or innocent youth lost too soon, or your most charitable/honestly good member of your community. She transports the truly beloved/blessed of souls (the definition of such tends to fluctuate but ultimately means they were beyond argument/reproach on their character or positive contributions to the world) She transports those who ultimately deserve to basically skip the Hades line to go straight to either Elysium or, in most sources I find about her, the isles/islands of the blessed. Basically she’s “may you go in blessedness, instead of suffering and utter destruction”. Sometimes she does overlap with Thanatos but they differ when it comes to the soul they transport. There are plenty of horrible people who manage to die nonviolently and there are plenty of good souls who die senselessly to violence. An example I’ll pull out of my ass would be Robin Williams. I’d imagine he’d be a good contender for Macaria. I googled him, I’ve heard nothing but glowing stories about the man and I admired his work as well. I had to actively search for controversy that might tarnish that eligibility. You know those memes where the grim reaper is taking the soul of a dog and telling them they were the best of boys/girls after the dog asks if they did good? That would probably be Macaria. Hopefully this gives you a good idea of what Macaria does. EDIT: Another way to define Macaria is as a death Goddess who handles souls who require more care and kindness than Thanatos can provide.

@@brookepreaseau7337 So an example from the game could be Patroclus / Achilles? Both are lauded as heroes by the game

@@UltimaDoombotMK1 I am honestly unsure about that…. from what I remember think she’s more along the lines of the children or long suffering but good people (illness or otherwise). Basically, she’s deals in the souls who deserve/need more care and kindness than what can already be found with Thanatos. The heroes you mentioned I imagine probably wouldn’t need such care. I gave plenty of examples of what I think roughly covers what’s she covers in a previous comment. Also being war heroes and the context of their deaths might put them under the Keres (embodiment of violent death) domain. Macaria is kinda difficult to pin point because there are no myths about her and her domain is shaky to fully translate/succinctly explain. It isn’t helped by the fact that Thanatos and the Keres by the factual coverage of their domains (nonviolent death and violent death respectively) don’t leave a lot of room for Macaria pin point her domain in an easily understood way. There is a reason people wonder if Thanatos and Macaria essentially have the same job or overlap. I gave my rough idea as to what she’s does and who she handles in a previous comment. Yeah those heroes you mentioned could be argued as contributed good to the world but remember Macaria seems to be more of a Peaceful kind of death Goddess. I also mentioned the meaning of Blessed death is a pain in the ass to explain. The term “Blessed” could be used towards specific people, like those in the priesthood or exceptionally morally good people, or used generally like most/all can be called “the blessed ones” in death. Let’s not even touch canonical timelines with gods because I have no clue whether Macaria even existed (conceptually or otherwise) at the time of the Trojan War. That’s one of the difficulties of researching more minor gods/goddesses, they either have no surviving myths and have only simple information on them or they likely were just more easily “understood” in the past than in the present. In Ancient Greece, depending on regional worship, people probably just knew/understood what Macaria did. There is cultural context or information missing to us in the present. While we struggle to define her because Greek mythology is very old and naturally sometimes things are lost to time or in translation. Hell, maybe I’m wrong and Macaria WAS only known as the daughter of Hades and goddess of Blessed death in Ancient Greece and there’s nothing else outside of the Eleusinian mysteries. Fun Fact: if you google Macaria you’ll also find results of the daughter of Heracles also named Macaria.

Something tells me that all, if not most, of the inhabitants of the underworld have separation anxiety when the Dread Queen Persephone leaves. The Cthonians all seem to carry fond memories of her with them.

Dude is also the one I'd trust most with his position. Can you imagine Zeus running the Underworld?

@@bthsr7113 There would be a HELL to pay if that were to happen!..

Not to mention ownership over all the riches beneath the Earth. Technically speaking, he is the WEALTHIEST of the gods.

@@bthsr7113 the place wouldn't last a week.

@@bthsr7113 My man, Zeus would turn the Underworld into a massive brothel or orgy house the second he steps in as the new manager of the place.

Considering how heavy the story is in Hades (which can be summed up as a long journey of a kid to reunite his separated parents), I wonder what type of story they think can match or top that in a sequel. Given the aforementioned heavy story, I figured Hades as being a one-shot.

​@@Y.MoroboshiWelp the story that the playtest is giving its pretty interesting

The more I learn about hades the more I like him

@@samuraitadpole5459 Then you're gonna love this bit here - Apparently Cerberus can be translated as either "spotted one" or "mottled one", in other words Hades named his dog "Spot".

@@lathyrusloon King: You must bring the legendary Hellhound before me! Heracles: Cerby, who wants walkies?!

whoops, turns out they had melinoe after all!

@@elilass8410 Yes! I hope Zagreus makes at least an appearance in the new game

@@sydneecook400 Zag might be taking care of the underworld. Hades seems to be in Cronos' belly.

Yo check out the trailer of Hades 2 :D

Big brother Zagreus is going to be the most wholesome thing ever.

By all accounts, Hades ran the Underworld like an accountant, or something like that. He was fair, and he could be swayed emotionally, but it was difficult, as he was mostly business. Persephone was the one you wanted to appeal to on the emotional level. Although that also meant that when she felt you should be punished, it was infinitely worse than anything Hades would come up with. They didn’t call her Dread Persephone for nothing.

For Real, that is the afterlife I'm hoping for. Instead of being thrown into the fire for god knows how long, before having all my whims cared for. Just do not be an absolute asshole, and you get a decent afterlife.

And there are a few examples of Hades just helping the dead out because their story touched him so much! Perfect example, Eurydice and Orpheus. He was so moved by the song Orpheus gave that he gave the couple a chance to be together again although the outcome was tragic. Another is Heracles where again, Hades was so moved by Heracles going through the trouble of trying to resurrect, I believe his friend's wife, that he just let's Heracles do it. Hell, when Heracles had to do his labors, Hades literally went, "Oh you want Cerberus? Alright but please give him back by this amount of time." Gotta love the big softie

Same here. My father and i disagree on a lot of things, him being a typical russian conservative (and raising me that way) and me growing up with more western ideals, but we at least reached the point, where arguments end on a "you got your truth and i got mine" point.

YES my thoughts exactly

Except Hades cries gemstones in some myths...

@@patrickbuckley7259 and sometimes iron which I interpret as iron chloride. Incidentally that's a either green or yellow solution, so kind of like liquid gemstones..?

@@diethylmalonate maybe the underworld soil is usually really low in iron and other essential nutrients?

So the big guy just fertilized them with his sobbing

ah yes the light up ceiling fan

Wow. What in Tartarus did he do to end up like that? I know Hades and Persephone. They don’t hand out punishments like that unless the idiots in question deserved it, so there’s got to be a story attached.

@@coltonwilliams4153 least from what I could find out Ixion was a king who was invited up to Olympus as a guest by Zeus after murdering his father-in-law, and he abused that favor by trying to seduce Hera. So Zeus switched out Hera for a cloud and so Ixion essentially gave birth to centaurs. As punishment, Zeus was the one who bound him onto the fiery wheel (either in the sky or the underworld).

@@BlazinVoid59 because... cloud plus guy equals centaur... I've loved greek myth since as long as I could remember and yet it still manages to surprise me??

Yeah, the parental biology can get rather weird in Greek Mythology. I mean, look at Typhon and Echidna. Two relatively humanoid beings besides the snake parts and Typhon being absolutely colossal, produced many multiheaded animals, perfect animal combinations and monsters for children.

The punnery is insane

Itsssss Greg! He writes the whole game more or less haha

Technically Hera was always faithful, Zeus was just a recurring cheater.

@@meghanharper6856 Hera was only faithful because she was Goddess of Marriage and Family. Even if she wanted it would only lead to shaming herself and her role as a goddess.

@@hailanluu2169 True, but she could have not cared about Zeus being unfaithful to her, yet she did care and attacked, tortured, or killed anyone who Zeus bedded and went worse on the ones carrying his kids as well as the kids themselves. So this suggests she felt more then just duty bound to be faithful to Zeus and was likely jealous of all those women (or whoever Zeus bedded) wanting her husband to stop cheating on her, so she got rid of who he was cheating on her with.

Depends on which version, in some of them Zagreus was actually Zeus' son, just like in Orpheus' hymn

Eh, still less than Zeus. And that moon goddess. She saw a dude asleep, being a moon goddess, and was like "YES, THAT. I WANT THAT." So she lowkey watched it sleep, and fell in love. There was the goddess of the dawn who granted the mortal she loved to have eternal life, but not eternal youth. So he grew so old he turned into a grasshopper. So moon goddess went to Zeus and was like "Ayo, can you make him sleep forever, but remain young?" And Zeus was like aight, I got you sis." So the dude, whose name was Endymion, slept forever. But wet dreams comes in handy, because she had 50 kids with him. I think, was probably more.

Depends on the sources. Some say Melinoe and Zagreus were Hades's kids, but some also say they may have Zeus's by tricking or taking advantage of Persephone. Macaria is said to be Hades’s but is never named a mother. Some sources even say the Furies may have been their children.

@@lonelyronin2428 greek mythology is fun on a bun.

@@diethylmalonate That could be interpreted a Hades since one of his Epithets pretty much translates to "Subterranean Zeus" being the ruler of the Chthonic deities.

I put it there just because I felt Persephone saying "we love each other" is a nice way to end the video off... And then the announcement happened xD

I mean, to be fair, if I had Zeus as a father I'd not want to work things out with him like Zagreus did with Hades

@@annasophia1330 killing zues once wouldn’t be enough

(Kratos is found out immediately by one of the many observant figures in the house) Mimir: "Well...fuck..." -Some time later- Mimir: "-So he's with Calliope, right? and Persephone, just inches away from destroying all the realms, tells him that elysium is going down with it!" (Persephone gasps, sharing a pomegranate with Kratos and Mimir. Zagreus peeks inside) Persephone: "Oh! Kratos, this is my son, Zagreus. I don't think you two have met" Kratos, visibly confused: "Hmm." Zagreus: "Father sent me here to check on you. I...Isn't it a little weird how similar they are?"

Kratos: "Yes, I'm...very proud of him" Zagreus: "Ah, I suppose there are differences there" Persephone: "Kratos was just telling me about his version of Greece. It's very interesting" Mimir: "It makes this version of Greece look great by comparison! By the way, do you have a Mimir in this realm too? Preferably missing a head, built like a marble statue, and-" Kratos: "Ignore him" Mimir: "Ah, worth a shot. So where was I? Oh yes! So Persephone, his version of Persephone, is telling him that he'd been tricked to weaken himself and make it so that nobody could foil her plan. So Kratos was put into a moral dilemma, give up the daughter he so desperately desired to be with, or ensure that her life in elysium would go on, without him" (some time passes) Mimir: '-And then, just when Zeus was about to impale him with his sword, Kratos lunges at him and tackles him to the floor, continuing the fight they had in the past!" Zagreus: "But wait, if Zeus didn't kill Kratos, how would he have gone on to destroy Sparta?" Mimir: "Ah, well, that's an excellent point. How did Sparta get destroyed?" Kratos: "If not the flooding, then probably the plagues, or the famine..." Mimir: "I suppose there's just some things you can't prevent..." (Even more time passes) Mimir: "So there I was, just come back to the land of the living, dangling by a rope and I can't feel anything below my chin, and the first thing I saw was Freya!" Persephone: *gasp* "What then?" Mimir: "She spit on my face" Kratos, smirking: "You two would get along quite well"

The fact we haven't heard about zombies is proof

I think the, "wealth beneath the earth," aspect may have been a Roman retcon, by it's one that makes sense.

Bling Bling.

@@bthsr7113 I find it extra funny since Hades is portrayed as Spartan in nature, often snarking and complaining when Zagreus puts in a work contract to pretty the place up. I feel it’s him projecting a bit, as deep down he loves gems and precious metals, but doesn’t want anyone to know he has a soft spot for anything.

@@stingerjohnny9951 It also might just be Hades showing much more maturity than...pretty much every other god. He has unmatched wealth but isn't petty enough to make a big deal out of it or flaunt it.

It's definitely more of a Roman thing. Plutocracy is the word for a government run by money because Pluto, the Roman aspect of Hades, had so many gems.

He just was having tantrums from not having Persephone by his side, so if anything Zagreus pretty much just saw Hades at his worst and assumed that his usual attitude.

Hades & Persephone kinda reminds me of the "Malewife & Girlboss" duo dynamic

They're basically Gomez and Morticia Addams.

Wise rulers consider the council of their wives. Just look at Arthur and Gwenyver in the Nun’s Priest Tale.

Actually I'd say the other 60% of the Greek population. Zeus was known to have... escapades, shall we say, with any and all genders. He's quite literally the definition of "any hole's a goal."

Poseidon has bedded two more women than Zeus. It's just that nobody knows his wife, which is why his stories seem less scandalous.

@@biggsdarklighter0473 I'm pretty sure that's mostly because his wife wasn't quite literally goddess of marriage and oaths.

@@magicrainbowkitties1023 yeah, that too

​@@biggsdarklighter0473 I'm still like 90% convinced that Poseidon and ampithrite have an open marriage. Gods of the ocean, and the sea can't be bound or contained and all that

DUDE SAME

My kin!

I interpreted it like he was more exasperated with people constantly trying to barge into his office demanding people back like he's the bad guy in all this despite the fact that the moirai were in charge of people's lifespans and fate. So he made it purposefully difficult to see him to cut down on that number but people were still bugging him on his lunchbreaks or in the bathroom. Heck he even gave Orpheus the simple challenge of walking back the way he came without looking back so he'd finally leave him alone, and Orpheus still cocked it up.

@@tokiwartooth9935 it’s reminds me of the Devils Carnival, when the Devil says to John “I am not in the business of killing innocent children, that’s Gods jurisdiction. My business is with the guilty.”

@@tokiwartooth9935 he is pretty charitable as well. When heracles went down to hades, Hades just gave him the soul of queen alcestis, the wife of his good friend, king admetes after being so moved by their love story.

Well not really. Cthonic deities are bound to the underworld. Zagreus was born of the underworld and thus he is of the Underworld. Even Hades himself cannot stay above ground for too long lest he suffer the same fate as Zagreus.

She is the Queen of the Underworld and Hades' wife for a reason

Most people in Greek mythology seem to do that. The plant part. Falling in a river is somehow less seen.

@@leunam3004 All three nymphs of the underworld end up as plants... The one I just mentioned, thene Minth who earned her fate by tryin to mack on Hades in front of Persephone. Dread Persephone was not amused. There is one other as well, but I am too unfamiliar with that myth.

Can you blame the guy for not wanting to fall in love again?

@@falconeshield Considering how normally people in greek myths end up, no I won't.

Haven't heard that one. I know of Leuke, an ocean nymph who was a lover of Hades's who simply lived out her life in the Underworld with him. When she died Hades turned her into a poplar, which became a significant symbol in ancient Greece. Its very sweet! There's also Minthe, who someone else mentioned. Do you know the name of thos other woman?

The devs rewrote Persephone to be Iasion's son to cut down on the incest lol (he's Demeter's mortal lover)

@@diethylmalonate yea but just imagine if they went the other way with it LOL 🤣

My headcanon is that she is still Zeus's daughter but he had sex with Demeter while disguised. He doesn't come forward with this because he can't pin the blame on anyone else and has already seen her fury in full action.

@@diethylmalonate oh sweet so in this, Persephone is a Demi? hm...so Zagreus is 3/4 God?

I'm guessing Corythus and Electra are Iasion's parents then

There is a comment further Up in the comment section about this and it is gold. Lets Just say goose zeus 😉

You'll find all the women in Tartarus on Heras orders. Would've personally put them all much rather into Asphodel myself, you know, for being murdered by the aforementioned.
