Melinoe and Arachne flirting with each other - Hades 2 

the logistics of such a pairing is.... daunting to say the least.

@@xaracen7207 NOT WITH THAT ATTITUDE let them kiss, that can work easy

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

This comment is wild lmfaoo

@@Coran_06 but is it true tho?

Honestly, this game has a lot of options. Icarus, Arachne, Nemesis....would be interesting to see who will be the new Than for Mel.

NA HAREM ENDING LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO

@@falconeshield Nah, no icarus. Let mel be a sweet lil lesbean.

​@@falconeshieldMy bets are still on Eris and Icarus

@@Qeshen What, weren't y'all saying this game is for the bissexuals? Then let it be for the bissexuals, motherfucker!

Well, Arachne's not just any spider. She was a mortal woman who was cursed by Athena to become a spider. All because, as she said, Athena was a god who was jealous of Arachne's beauty

​@caiusdrakegaming8087 depends on the version it wasn't beauty....it was talent in weaving Athena was jealous of. They had a contest, Anmthena lost and she raged and destroyed Arachne's tapestry and loom which made Arachne attempt to hang herself and in a moment of regret Athena turned her into a spider before she could commit suicide.

@@caiusdrakegaming8087 no, that`s Orvid's version he was an A-hole with authority issues so he demonized the Gods.

@@caiusdrakegaming8087 I know the myth, but on the surface level (a humanoid conversing with a spider) it is definitely impressive to hear such things.

​@finnmchugh99 And in the original version, Athena did nothing to her at all. Arachne made a tapestry that, while beautiful and better than Athena's, was designed around the various blunders and exploits of the gods, to mock them. She was so terrified of how this would be received once she'd actually done it that she fled the scene and hanged herself, and Athena turned her into a spider as an act of mercy so that she could weave forever.

Well she didn't chose to be born with talent, mortals got punished for the doings of Fates/RNGesus by the gods all the time

Honestly, is it REALLY her fault that Athena chose this for her? She could have just cursed her with being unable to talk smack about the gods, specifically smack.

@@visionofsolace8961 In the original myth Arachne was going to k!ll herself after being scolded by Athena. Athena turned her into a spider to stop her from committing suicide. Not the greatest response from the goddess of wisdom, tbf I don't think I'd be less suicidal if I were magically turned into a spider. But she was allowed to continue doing the thing she was amazing at, which is more than can be said for some of the others the gods have literally and metaphorically fucked over.

@@visionofsolace8961 The version of the myth I recall has Athena and Arachne engage in a weaving competition, in which Arachne deliberately creates images (deservedly) mocking the gods, which indicates to Athena that she very much did not learn her lesson from a goddess manifesting to hubris-check her. However, most of the information we have on the myth comes from Ovid, who had a habit of massively altering older myths to fit his anti-establishment narrative (Medusa being the most infamous example), so it is little surprise that in the main version we have from him, Athena is shown as petty as possible.

Just imagine Arachnae in water wings

Seems like they're going with the version where Athena uses Hecate's herbs to enact the curse. There's a crossroads conversation with Hecate where she slips up and low-key self reports when Mel asks if there's anything they can do as witches to help Arachne.

​@@ashec.6824Hecate secretly help with the curse made me hate her a little bit. Just a little bit, hope there's no another one

I mean, the idea of making her a spider was to let her do what she loved forever. Even versions of the story where Athena is more cruel generally represent the transformation of Arachne less as a punishment and more as an act of remorse from Athena after she hangs herself.

there are not that many version

Arachne too had the gal to scream in the 4 winds that she is better than Athena in that aspect... Of course, Arachne was right, but gods are prideful and petty

*high five* let’s go, lil sis!

Zagreus still got Dusa, almost.

@@visionofsolace8961so close man, so close and yet so far

I loved the scene where Melinoë said "No, Arachne. I was Morbean all along!" And then morbed all over the place

Another one I found was "of course the weaver gets scissor action"

I imagine that'll be a thing in the full game. A thing with hades 1 was letting the "sinners" of the underworld lighten their sentence- Achilles to be with Patroclus, Orpheus to be with Eurydice, Sisyphus to not have to push the boulder for all time. In this case it's probably to fix the wrongs the gods enacted out of pettiness. Arachne for beating Athena at weaving and turned her into a spider; Narcissus, who Nemesis proclaimed that Narcissus would never be able to be loved b the one he fell in love with because Ameinas was ignored by him; Echo, who Hera cursed to only speak the last words spoken to her because she was ordered to lie to Hera about Zeus' infidelity with the Nymphs; Heracles, who Hera went out of her way to make his life a living hell because again, Zeus; Icarus, who Helios punished him for his hubris of flight There's even a few others. Scylla was poisoned by Aphitrite and turned into a monster, or in some accounts it was Circe who poisoned her. if Dora is (probably) Pandora, then she was the first woman who was made by the gods purely to punish mankind for 'stealing' fire (Prometheus gave it to them) by giving her a pythos containing all of the world's misery and disease.

wut? nah no need

There might be a reason why Athena refuses to give her boons to mel... Especially given that it's hinted she's sided with Chronos.

I know nothing of this game but I am now in full support of this cause

​@soothsayingProfit Wow, I can't believe it took me reading your comment to directly connect Dora possibly being Pandora.

Dusa is just aroace, we have no indication Arachne is. Gods dating mortals and/or monsters in Greek myth isn't unheard of anyway.

​@@SongbirdOfficialidk, Arachne seems to flirt back with Melinoë and seems to be genuinely interested in her, so who knows really

Its like snow flowers something beautiful looking from the underneath cold and scarred thing

There's a dialogue where Cercei asks about Odysseus and they frame it like a brief Affair or something similar when they stay on the island for one year. I'm thinking that it's going to be a romantic situation between those two myself

Melinöe says that Odysseus is like an uncle or big brother to her, so I don't think she'll be able to romance him

Not to be that guy but Oddys known Mel since she was a baby so thatd be weird

Hmm, I wonder if Penelope and Telemachus will show up in later versions of the game?

Oh, that does make a lot of sense.

Also abused by Athena so it track a bit too well.

@@remigiuszrutkowski9527 only if you read Ovid Butchered's work.

Except dusa wasn’t pursuing a relationship

And Arachne is not in service of any gods (or goddesses)

@@remigiuszrutkowski9527 stop reading Ovid's work.

this is the real gay panic

Oh my god, they were webmates

No she didn't xp

It depends on the version there is a version where arachnes weaving was good but the subject matter offended athena and she tore Archnes work down Arcachne felt bad for offending athena and hung herself but athena felt pity and loosened the rope which turned into a cobweb and arachne into a spider

she didn`t beat athena

@@JayJayM57 Really? that's not what I heard

@@th3blackghost214 you probably heard Ovid's version he was a Roman poet with authority issues who got put in charge of translating the Greek myths. because of his many issues, he demonizes the Greek Gods in his TRANSLATIONS.

@@JayJayM57 nah, a RU-vidr named. See you in history I think 🤔

It's ok, if this game is like the first one, then Melinöe will be able to romance various character at once lol

Mel's got two hands 😌

You underestimate the power of horny.

They're using the version where Hecate was involved so I'm guessing it's going to become a process of trying to find out how to return her to her original form

I actually like that look they gave her, she is not just sentient spider (like, actual animal) but not hot spider-mommy either. In the first case it would be harder to emotionally bound to her as to person, in the second - "punishment"/"curse" part of the transformation would be missed But yeah she is clearly unfit for active sexual relationship. (Make this into glorious "would you love me if i was turned into worm?" or tales about hero being not picky and in reward monster/ugly/old turned into super beauty because that was a test) They bring so much comfort to each other so i cant help but ship hard, yet i doubt Supergiant will let Mel undo thre curse placed on Arachna (beat Chronos into helping with curse lol, sure time magic can rewind body to the previous shape)

They don't have to do that if they loved each other ya know. They can still love each other in many other ways, just like Melinoë saying Arachne weaving is also way of her way of showing love

4:11 Melinoë: Your size has nothing to do with the love you can give It's confirmed. Melinoë's of the opinion that size doesn't matter

Same

Could be...game is in Early Access, there are parts of the game still in development. Athena at the moment is not a god/goddess offering boons to Melinoe. There is a portion of Melinoe's task in slaying Kronos involves going to Olympus, so she might encounter Athena and the other Olympians (Ares and Dionysus).

No, I think it's Dora who fills that role

Personally, Dusa, for Melinoë, Arachne

Yes you are

when you know that apolo has already fucked a man... not just once...

​@@joeyabuki9996 or Artemis with women or Zeus with both in the form of man and woman

U gey

As far as mythology goes, this is quite tame.
