Hades: God Of The Underworld - Lord Of The Dead (Greek Mythology Explained) 

Like raping(at the very least attempting) at broad daylight and leaving after the deed is normal for them. So taking care of the scant three women sounds beyond tame.

Its a Myth that hades is a male God There more Of Hermaphroditic Titanus

Not really surprising. Christianity took over and equated one dark underground death boy with their own underground death boy. The average person has a very simple/christian view of life and death. Death=bad. And they project this to every other religion. Hades is an asocial king, but he's in charge of the dead so he must be evil! Anubis just prepares bodies, but he's a death god so he must be evil!

actually, Satan took after a lot of hades' features, not the other way around

Which was a result of catholicism demonizing the pagan religions

@@casserole1595 Not really; Satan/Devil in Christian Demonology has more in common with (and influenced by) the Zoroastrian Angra Mainyu (Ahriman). The Associating of the Greek Hades (and the Germanic Hel in turn) with Demons was a later attribution by Medieval Christians.

Isn't it wonderful that seeing another creative's work can unblock us?

I laughed SO HARD.

Hail King Hades!

Sure, not like I don't already have enough Dionysus in my life

The hostage was 'Thanatos' (not 'Hades')... other than that, you're correct

I don't want to be critical, but this video is not very good! Plato wrote a lot about Hades

@@alberich3963 I liked the video overall, but I recall seeing more about Hades out there online. I'm not sure why the video neglected to mention anything about Hades from Plato. Maybe this explains why I expected more from the video itself. It took awhile to come out so I don't want to nitpick at the quality, because I truly do believe Cinzia did what she could with what she found. I'm not sure how she did her research though.

@@prophecyempresslerena358 or mentions the works of Aeschylus, this guy is from Eleusis, he's probably more familiar with religion and tradition than the other poets( the cult of Demeter in Eleusis is secret, only the people of the region knew the mysteries.)

I don't really understand what you both wanted me to say here. Plato talks about the etymology of Hades' name: I discussed the etymology of his name in the video. Plato discusses the event where Hades pulls the short straw to rule the underworld: I discussed that in the video. Plato explains how no one can leave the underworld: I discuss how no one but heroes can leave the underworld. The rest of what he discusses is the underworld itself -- I'm doing a whole separate video on the underworld. Again, Aeschylus' Frogs focuses on the underworld itself, not Hades as a figure: what information about Hades features in any of Aeschylus' plays that wasn't discussed in this video? He's referenced across multiple plays and poets in Ancient Greek and Roman texts, but no new information about him is given other than repeated "lord of the underworld" sentiments. He as a character and figure isn't well-examined or extrapolated. This video was focused purely on collecting the information we have about Hades as a character and figure in mythology: the underworld is far more detailed than he is across texts. He appears here and there, but he's just a figure people meet, he doesn't have a significant impact on the stories or interact with the fate of the tales he appears in like other gods do (aside from his own myth with Persephone). The 'Hades' Aeschylus largely refers to in his plays is the Underworld itself - the underworld was often called Hades. Aeschylus was very much invested in the mysteries, but as I already discussed, the mysteries were more about Demeter and Persephone to the ancient Greeks, and we see that in Aeschylus' writings. This was a video purely about the god, not the underworld, and I don't quite know what information about Hades you both think I so drastically ignored and didn't cover. @alberrich3963 has gone out of their way to make multiple comments directly or indirectly to me about how bad they believe my video is without telling me exactly what about the god Hades I was missing.

I know, I'm doing a whole video on that. But I think you may be confused in that the word for the underworld IS Hades. I was talking about the god Hades in this video, not Hades the underworld.

Several people have noted their research on Hades and Peresephone is their worst researched video which if you look into the sources yourself it is. This is coming from OSP fan.

​@@natureisneat8262m pretty sure it's one of their better researched videos actually, also, red made it abundantly clear that the whole hades being poseidon thing is just a theory on reds part.

@@natureisneat8262 The thing is, there are artifacts pretty clearly depicting the Wanax-Wanake triad of *Poseidon*, Demeter, and Persephone/Despoina. Even if Hades is not an aspect of Poseidon that gets separated (like with Hermes and Pan), it's quite interesting that Poseidon fills in the Chthonic king role before Hades gets really into the picture and that some of the imagery can be read as the daughter goddess is being given away

Thank you!! 😊

@@CinziaDuBois please don't get me wrong, I like your work but not this specific video isn't very good, there's a lot more stuff about Hades ! The online bibliotheca Theoi is very useful for this theme

Thanks

As well as the Norse -entirely different plane of existence- Hel

I can see the Book of Hades now; James Woods strolling around the Asphodel fields to avoid calls from Demeter, making wise cracks to passing shades and wondering why no-one seems to see him

@@markwynne725 Daaaayumm, you picked up my observation and ran with it the other way, and I like it :D . I like these kind of replies. Sorry I can1t send a pint your way, but still... Cheers, mate!

Well, no I didn’t. Aidoneus was a mythical king of the Molossians in Epirus. He substitutes Hades in an adaptation of the myth which was the work of a late interpreter of ancient myths - his story comes much later than the original myth drawn from the Elusinian mysteries. I also did discuss the story that Hades drew the short straw in this video, so I didn’t forget that. And I’m covering the Nekromanteion in a video all about the underworld.

​@@CinziaDuBois I look forward for your next video on this topic! ❤

yes I cover that in another video

@@CinziaDuBois cool I’ll go watch it 😄 I’m currently binge watching ur vids

I haven’t - it’s just in a bun. But I've never mentioned ever cutting my hair so I think you may have confused me with someone else

No one I could of confused you with, have to look back at the exact hair related comment you made. Good that you do not cut your long gorgeous hair anyway. With your hair up, you just looked good in that style. I usually like to see long hair on a women, few can get away with short hair. You got away with it. Best of both worlds, up in a bun when you want it short then just release it when you don't.
