My personal headcanon is that Theseus isn’t allowed to realize that Zagreus is Persephone’s son because then they’d have to confront the fact that he tried to get it with his mom once, and then Zagreus would simply beat him to a pulp every time he went through Elysium.
I was laughing my ass out of how passionate and breathtaken sounded the statue commentaries xD The voice actor of Zagreus is a god of voiceacting, jeez.
I'm a little disappointed they didn't use my favorite version of the Sisyphus myth.
He dies once, but in the underworld he captures thanatos and chains him up, so nobody can die. While the gods sort out thanatos being in chains, sisyphus is able to escape the underworld.
Sisyphus then dies again, but has his wife not perform the proper burial rites. Sisyphus convinces hades to let him go aboveground to tell her what to do with the promise that he'll come right back. A promise he immediately breaks.
Hades wants to send thanatos to go kill sisyphus, but Thanatos is scared of sisyphus after what happened last time, so sisyphus gets to live a long life.
So Aphrodite is cheating on Hephaestos with Ares and Ares is now going out with Nyx truly some of the shittiest members of the pantheon Though there's hera: kills, curses or enslaves a good deal of the women zeus elopes with (or forces himself onto) as well as their heirs zeus: womanizer who can't take responsibility for his triggered wife + r-ped his sister (and more) hephaestos: tried to r-pe athena athena: made medusa so ugly she kills people because she and poseidon boinked in her temple, then had a hero go out and kill her and then mounted her head on her shield, plus she turned Arachne into the first spider because athena wasn't as good at weaving so that's some fierce competition
A small detail about Zagreus' character that I really love is how polite he is, despite of how easygoing he can be at times, he always call people sir and stuff like that. In contrast with most olympian gods (atleast in original mythology) which are… well, reckless and unapologetic, I guess.
wow what a dick. They definitely went with the Theseus abandons Ariadne on an island because he is a dick version of the story. Glad Ariadne fell in love with Dionysus.
Makes me Wonder if there are some special dionysus línes if you have the ariadne yarn
that statue complementing bit at the end is a perfect example of two people speaking stupid but one just in a fancy font.

Human woman: I am in love with you Theseus!
Theseus: HELL NAH!
Giant bull man:
existsTheseus: Hell yeah 😎👊

Zagreus is talking to a ROCK. I laugh every time. I think being in the underworld for so long really has made him insane XD
Skelly is definitely being paid extra to agree with Zag's analysis of the statues
5:50
I had no idea you could give Bouldie nectar
6:10 sounds like he needs to work out some issues…
Theseus annoying? I find him to be even worse as Narcissus.
Just once I want Asterious to be like, "Dude, that's my sister you're talking about."
Theseus! Please remember the woman who help you meet your half bull boyfriend was said bf's SISTER. BE A BIT MORE POLITE
Sisyphus be like after 5 more millennia "ayo dis boulder looking kinda bad doe"
So Aphrodite is cheating on Hephaestos with Ares
and Ares is now going out with Nyx
truly some of the shittiest members of the pantheon
Though there's
hera: kills, curses or enslaves a good deal of the women zeus elopes with (or forces himself onto) as well as their heirs
zeus: womanizer who can't take responsibility for his triggered wife + r-ped his sister (and more)
hephaestos: tried to r-pe athena
athena: made medusa so ugly she kills people because she and poseidon boinked in her temple, then had a hero go out and kill her and then mounted her head on her shield, plus she turned Arachne into the first spider because athena wasn't as good at weaving
so that's some fierce competition
i kinda like theseus ngl, he's shitty but so so funny, him and asterius both
6:11 Theseus literally said "bros before hoes"
