  1. Basically Hades is that one introverted quiet kid in high school that barely receives attention but studies hard, gets straight As, never cheats on exams, and loves to hang around with people whose life is not always drama.

  2. •He literally heard a love story and gave someone’s wife back

    •Said Eurydice could go back with Orpheus (he gave a very specific set of rules, it was Orpheus who messed it up)

    •Also before anyone says “he kidnapped his wife” (which they probably already have) yes he did, but it was ordered by Zeus

    HER FATHER

    It was less a kidnapping more than it was an arranged marriage

    • he also let Persephone go when Hermes (i think it was anyway) tells them what’s happening with Demeter and the whole eternal frost thing

    He was scared that she’d leave and never come back so he gave her the pomegranate seeds (the only thing he does other than taking her at the order of Zeus)

    and he only really screwed 2 people over
    3 depending on the version of one story

    One of them kidnapped Thanatos (the embodiment of death) so he could escape death

    One tried to marry Persephone- ya know- HIS WIFE

    Thank you for reading my list of other things hades did (sorry it’s so long)

  3. They also showed poseidon as a rapist. Hé was responsible for the fact that a good woman was turned into a monster (medusa). So i for one never saw him as good. Also zeus was a cheater. So yeah 😲

  4. Wasn't that a lie about Cerberos being Spot? Or just totally inaccurate?
    Also there are several versions and interpretations of the Minthe story, so whether or not he cheated is debatable. Zeus and Poseidon's escapades however….

  5. Knowing a part of Greek mythology, Hades is one that you can actually relate with. Zeus and Poseidon are assholes.

    As far as I remember, Poseidon raped one of Athena's beautiful and devote follower who then became Medusa… So fuck Zeus and Poseidon.

  6. He wasn’t evil, but he wasn’t a Pure deity. He cheated on his wife with Minthe. (But Persephone was also cheating on him with Adonis.) He also did some other things aswell, but i can be remembering things wrong. (Edit: In the Homeric hymm to Demeter; it isn’t full on said, but it is Heavily implied that Haides; was Physically abusive to Persephone.)
