Hades/Persephone. I discovered Greek mythology when I was a very naive and sheltered nine/ten year old and I never pick up the problematic elements to the ship. As an adult, I certainly see those elements now, but I just don't give a fuck. You just can't beat baby's first OTP!

Problematic is kind of the point of that ship though, no? Plus, gods aren't literal people, unless you want them to be, I suppose. They represent elements/concepts, and the myths are personifications of that.

Like I said, my dumb nine year old self didn't really pick up the problematic parts and just head canon a Disneyfied version. So, the point of the ship to me has always been a star crossed lovers thing and not a non-con kidnapping thing. Childhood head canons are hard to break out of, I guess.

Depends on the myth, since the main one you hear is also very... Demeter-centric. There are other myths, usually stemming from Persephone's own cult, that state that, while she was kidnapped, it was because Hades basically went to Zeus for romantic advice and spent his time with her apologizing profusely. Persephone then ate the seeds when she realized her mother was coming because tbh Demeter was overbearing (who holds a bunch of innocents fucking hostage and starves them over this) and she wanted some modicum of freedom. So she made her choice because Hades treated her better than her mother and she really didn't want to spend her life trapped in a static garden.

Like. Why do you think Orpheus was able to strike a chord with the two of them? It sure as hell wasn't because it was a loveless marriage.
