Hera: This baby ugly YEET
*yeets Hephaestus off of Mt. Olympus*
Zeus: Where’s the smithing god?
Hera: wouldn’t you like to know weather boy

[ukiyo]

Hades is like the cool bigger brother that everyone’s intimidated by but is actually very relaxed when you actually get to know him

[emILYann]

Fun fact: Cerberus loosely translates to spotted. Which means Hades, the God of The Dead, basically names his giant three headed hell hound Spot.

Hades is not bad. Proof: He politely asked Zeus if he could marry his daughter, unlike others who would just kidnap her and trade her freedom or something.

[Anyxera]

Hades is often over vilified, due to people's fear of death.

Zeus to Hades: You can have Persephone but be low-key about it.

Hades: Bursts through the ground and drags Persephone down into the underworld.

Zeus: my profile pic

Kronos after eating the rock: Man, that was a good baby a, little crunchy, though

[gamingchronicle]

Almost everyone: Hades is evil
Zeus: *Stuff's one of his sons in his thigh* (Dionyosus)

*_The moment when you realized that Hades is the most relatable character ever since you grew up to become like him._*

In many versions, Persephone willingly eats the pomegranate after falling in love with hades.

Hades could have had a better reputation if he took public relations classes on skillshare.

[AhMy-Spinach-Puffs]

I actually think Hades is one of the best Greek gods. He didn’t really go and trick anybody (except for the two men who tried to come down and take his wife as their own - can’t remember their names), he took care of the souls, his dog Cerberus literally translates as one with spot or spot (lol) and he was faithful to his wife.
— he may have kidnapped her but that can be debated. 😬

It’s funny, Hades is pretty much the only Greek main god who wasn’t a jackass at some time, but he also makes for such an entertaining villain that I can’t say I mind the alternative portrayal.

[nefelibata]

In some versions of the myth, Hades didn’t force Persephone to eat the pomegranate but would offer the food of the underworld as he wanted her to feel welcome and nourished in her new home(whether knowingly or unknowingly about the underworld food rule also depended on the version because I’ve read both), other versions say Persephone had given in and gorged on the fruit after she couldn’t hold back from not eating anything anymore, and others even said Hades offered the fruit as a parting gift before Hermès took her back to her mother and she ate on the way there. Either way, the number of seeds would range from 3-6 usually(I tend to go with 6) as she’d spend two seasons with her mother and the remaining two with him. With the story of Hades and Persephone, even the chemistry ranged from unrequited/one sided love and anger and hatred from the young goddess to eventual acceptance to mutual/complete love. Regardless, Hades did love her and treated her like an absolute queen and treasure, showering in jewels, affection, and even creating the garden when he saw how unhappy she was(even though he was all “hey all that I can really grow here are asphodels and these pomegranate trees but I know you want the sun and something reminiscent of home so here you go”)- point is I was very happy that you covered this and I hope you get to talk about some of the other major gods and figures in Greek mythology; maybe you can go further into detail with Zeus or Hera one day who knows! Awesome video!

Hades was probably the most sane of all the Greek gods.

[wolfancap]

Persephone: so nice to pick some flowers for a change.
Hades: Hello there!

[heidysval]

My mom accidentally named me Hades lmao.. written differently but pronounced exactly the same. I definitely have fun introducing myself to new people lmaoo 🤣

[thegoose]

Hades isn't the God of death, he just does the paperwork.
**Points to Thanatos**
See, he's the God of death
