  1. As someone who had visions of this game a few weeks before its reveal, I can say, it looks quite awesome. For me, this was easily the best part of the VAs. Its cool to see a direct sequel to alot of peoples' favorite roguelite, and Supergiant knew literally everyone wanted, no…demanded a Hades sequel, so they delivered. Melione looks swift and fun, and I like the inclusion of new gods; especially Apollo, who was cut from the og game. My only question about Meli is, was she born AFTER Zagreus, after the events of Hades, or was she born around the same time as Zag, and secretly stolen/brought up by Hecate? Ill say this much, as awesome as Hecate appears, I don't trust her. Thanks again for the updates & insights, Clemmy~

  2. Its announcement was a complete surprise. Already hyped for this one.

    Now, if you don't mind, a couple of additions which I'll try to keep as short as possible though being Greek and a mythology fan it might be tough! Minor spoiler ahead I guess? Some people might want to play the game instead and figure the characters for themselves.

    The mage looking woman in the trailer is definitely, not probably, Hekate as she was depicted using two staves. There are lots of accounts regarding her in relation to Melinoe but that's another rabbit hole. Suffice to say, there's a big overlap between their characters.

    Our protagonist Mel, wasn't exactly the goddess of the Moon, rather she was associated with it. Mel was the goddess, and protector, of ghosts actually which probably explains her ghoulish green left arm. She accompanied said ghosts to haunt living men and give them nightmares effectively doing to the living what the Furies (or Erinyes) were doing to the dead. And here's where Nemesis, included in the trailer, comes in.

    Moreover, she was considered a chthonic nymph so her popularity over Zagreus is a given in Greek folklore. As for her weapon, the sickle, there's a connection to Kronus who used one to castrate and dethrone Uranus. Her headband is also a fantastic detail and shows how much SGG have invested in this as Mel is described as "krokopepli" which roughly translates to "woman who wears a crocus flower coloured veil".

    Moros was indeed the god of impending doom and as such he was considered the brother of Thanatos (Death) and the Fates and also the son of Nyx. He was also considered a hateful PoS.

    All in all, can't wait to see how SGG will implement all these and much more in their game.

  3. Melinoe also has the same moon emblem that Artemis wears, and based on myth they both worship the moon god. In the 1st game Artemis is often noted spending time with nymphs which melinoe is considered to be.

    Hecate in myth helped Demeter look for Persephone when she went missing & is good friends with Persephone herself. Hecate also sided with the Olympian’s when they overthrew the titans. So it makes a lot of sense that hade’s and Persephone’s daughter is being mentored by their friend who has experience fighting titans

  4. I’m hyped for this one, it seems like they’re getting way more deeper into obscure Greek myths now so I’m really excited to see how they interpret the more out there gods

  5. I feel like it's a sequel prequel where it takes place before hades 1 since we will be talking to more daemons th they are personifications of different things but that's just what I'm thinking

  6. As a Greek with a mother teaching history and mythology at school i can say the lore of Hades is 99% accurate, i even learned myths i didnt know, so im excited
    about what myths i will see in this one and their clever interpretations.

  7. Love how everyone in comment section is sharing their knowledge on Greek mythology. I myself never heard of Melinoe but if Hecate is present and she herself being a Titan (much like Selene aka the moon) it brings a lot of depth to the Hades overall world. Would like to see how Chronos, Metis(Thought) and other Titans are incorporated. As well as other ancient entities such as Erebus, Eros, Gaia etc.
