Sorry it’s been a while! I’ve been busy and sick sadly 😔
sorry that this isn’t a big thing today, but due to most conception in the media of the Greek gods, I felt the need to say this. (Plus I just like Hades in general.)
Hades is NOT the bad guy in Greek mythology. In fact, he is one of the only nice and reasonable gods. Despite the kidnapping of Persephone, Hades is actually a kind god. He and Persephone actually did love each other, and Persephone always willingly returned to him after her time on Earth (read the kindnapping of Persephone story farther up if you’re confused!) However, the media has led most people to believe otherwise. Since Hades is the god of the underworld, modern culture look at him and what he rules and think “Cool, perfect villain material.” And make him the bad guy in everything. If anything, Zeus is the bad guy. Zeus has cheated on Hera so many times meanwhile Hades will only ever love Persephone. (If you couldn’t tell, most of this is going to end up me defending Hades and blaming al the real issues on Zeus because they’re all mostly his fault)
