At least the gods understand why Prometheus is fighting them
Oh yeah! Prometheus was the Titan who brought fire to the Mortals and I do remember as punishment the Gods of Olympus chained his entire body to a stone and since he was immortal, an Eagle will swoop down and rip out his liver. The liver will come back and he would be tortured over and over again in a never ending cycle. So yeah I would understand why he would side with Chronos.
I wonder… the Fates are Nyx's daughter's, and Nyx is a Primordial… if Prometheus's Future Sight is similar to that of the Fates, are they connected? Maybe he's siding with Chronos in order to get the Fates back AND get revenge in one fell swoop.
With Dora's dialogue it is indeed confirmed that she is Pandora. The fact that she is familiar with the name Prometheus but not because of his legend makes sense considering she married his brother Epimetheus..
I'm surprised there's no dialogue with Heracles about Prometheus since he was the one to free the titan during his 12 labors
1:04 to contextualize the Titan/God Family Tree a little more, from Melinoe's perspective…
– Prometheus is her 1st Cousin Once Removed (son of the Titan Iapetus, brother of Cronus)
– Selene is the daughter of the titans Hyperion and Theia, who in the Hades game lore is also Demeter, Hestia, and Hera's parents as well, making Selene her Great Aunt
– Hecate's genealogy is a little spotty, but most believe her to be the daughter of Asteria and Perses (Asteria the daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe, and Perses the son of the Titan Crius (all three are Cronus's siblings), thus Hecate is Melinoe's 2nd Cousin
I’d love to see what Zeus thinks of Prometheus working with Cronus. I imagine he’d be all, “What, Prometheus stands against us?! Whatever for? Oh, who could have foreseen this turn of events?”
it's really funny how Melinoe hates Prometheus and calls him a "traitorous wretch" but every other god is like "yeah, can't blame him"
"I am shocked. Shocked! …well, not that shocked" – everyone when they realized who's side Prometheus is on
I´m starting to think Prometheus might be a schemer for better or for worse…
6:32 this is definitely the biggest "are we the baddies" moment yet
"Oh that dastardly Prometheus, thinking of only himself and the peasants we allow to lick our feet! Such a selfish traitor cannot be suffered to live, clearly."
Dora is definitely Pandora, I'm sure it's obvious to everyone, but the way she reacted to Prometheus' name has cinched it.
For those wondering what Skelly is talking about Good eats it's most likely a reference to the trick at Mecone where Prometheus laid two picks of sacrifice made from an ox he slew. One choice was meat and fat, all the good stuff, covered with an unappealing ox stomach and the other was a pile of bones covered in shining fat which made it looked more appealing compared to the former.
Zeus' took the latter pick and was enraged because of it. This trick would later be used for the custom of giving sacrifices to the gods for humanity's benefit
Can't wait to hear Zeus' dialogue about Prometheus – no doubt he'll try to defend his punishment of the Titan and swear vengeance
Now I realize Dora is Pandora 😂😂
6:35 damm, we're really playing as the villains huh.
Hephaestus makes sense being sympathetic, considering his own conceited mother dropped him off the mountain when he was born not as beautiful as Zeus' bastards. Guess it's settled with his little bout of revenge, while Prometheus didn't have a chance. As for Apollo, it's funny he's giving it to Prometheus for knowing the winning side, when he's the god of prophecies himself. Shouldn't they be playing 6d chess now?
Okey maybe I'm a bit slow for noticing this now but….
Expolers down below.
4:20 HO MY GOD DORA IS PANDORA
I like Malinóe but…gotta hope she'll get hit with the 'oh shit are we the baddies' stick
Everyone not angry to Prometheus to take side with Chronos, because he have reason.
Wait wouldnt that mean well get kratos bia zelous and nike?
It's interesting how dismissive Melinöe can be towards mortal kind. Espacially when she has such a special bond with Shades and Spirits. She seems to communicate a lot with them. If someone should know their pain of losing everything they love, even if they can't always remember there life before, its her. Espacially when some of Melis best friends or "family" are Odysseus, Icarus and Dora.
Figures Ody would side with the gods, the twisted treacherous trickster.
I was wondering why Dora had a connection with Prometheus, but then it hit me like a train
Like I’ve read that story it’s iconic, but like. My brain doing a fucky
Can't stand the guy, let him have it
It's interesting to me just how little sympathy Melinoe has for Prometheus. Like obviously she doesn't know the fully story and there's animosity because he tries to kill her every run, but it really highlights the point Hecate made before about how she'd never forgive herself for molding Melinoe into a weapon, regardless of how their circumstances forced her to. She's naive about the nuances and grey areas of the world.
In Melinoe's mind, you're either an ally who can help her and therefore she can let her guard down and be nice to you, or you're an enemy in her way, in which case, she writes you off as being undeserving of even a shred of kindness or empathy. It's useful during a time of war where you don't have time to think about anything outside your survival, and have to make a decision on the spot on whether this person is a friend or foe, and whether you should attack or not. But outside of it? She won't be able to get anywhere.
THIS is why everyone in the game implies that Zagreus is better than Melinoe. Not because of his fighting prowess or humour or anything like that, it's his compassion and ability to easily connect with others. If he was here, imagine how many allies he'd be able to rally together to fight, just through his charming demeanour.
Why does prometheus look like Zagreus barring the eyes.? Some lore indication?
Its funny and hypocritical. Zeus said that the Gods stopped Chronos and that allowed mortal kind to progress, but that progress came mainly from the fire Prometheus gave humanity. I like how Melinoe is both indoctrinated, naive, and smugly sure of her superiority over mortals. She hadn't even been to the surface, so she only knows war. Her viewpoint is tainted and she is partially blind to the faults of her family, who throw curses at her if she doesn't take their boons. Not imagine what happens to mortal that they don't like and can't fight back. Arachne, for example. Honestly, the Underworld Gods are the nicest, and they are doom and gloom, but its a just a job. The Olympians are the nobility that plays with other lives.
And they all recognize they can't blame Prometheus for siding with Chronos. Like, he is free and have a chance for revenge. Why would he side with the people that tortured him for aeons? I like how promethus is not smug, or have funny quips and banter for the most part. He is a serious but good guy that was punished for doing a good thing.
