  1. Some other person: why would you Stan Hades when you could Stan the TRUE unproblematic god husbands Eros and Dionysus? 😀
    Me, a die hard Stan of both of those deities: (remembers the time Eros got Apollo so horny for Daphne she turned into a tree to escape being assaulted by him and the many many MANY ritualistic dismemberments Dionysus and his cult performed)
    honestly if ANY of the Greek gods can be called “unproblematic”, it’s Hestia

  2. I honestly have never heard a version of the story where Persephone went willingly, but for some reason, I at the same time wouldn’t really label what they have as Stockholm Syndrome. Persephone eventually returning Hades love and identifying with him could definitely be huge signs of that, true, but given the circumstances we know they also could be signs of simply forgiving him for his actions too and thus making the best of her situation. At best, what they have could be a weird mix between an arranged marriage and divorced parents (Demeter and Hades) sharing visitation rights over a child.

    I could be wrong, though. Either way, Hades is definitely one of the better ones.

  3. I like Hades because he is not evil, but i have to recognize that this is a faint praise. Because he won't do good too. Only what is in the rules. He is a bureaucrat, basically. Hestia have the same problem of "lack of iniciative".

  4. Well let's measure the pros and cons
    Pros
    -good husband
    -respects hard work and commitment
    -is firm but fair with people asking favors

    Cons
    -is the bane of my existence in Smite
    -eats pomegranates so his hands are ALWAYS sticky.
    -you have to get past a three headed guard dog and pay a fee just to get into the afterlife he runs
    – what does he do with all that money? Discriminated of the people who died poor
