Yeah! Everybody makes Hades a sad boi(TM) and that he and Persephone were OTP. Like...in most of the iterations of the myth she doesn't want to be there. Definitely not at first. In this I enjoy taking Disney's Hades, because he was petty AF, and that just sounds right with what we've heard about all the other gods i.e. they were just as petty and capricious as the humans who worshipped them.

I definitely agree re:Persephone. But people treated Hades like he was literally Satan for so long, not because of anything he actually did or how he was thought to be, but because they couldn’t separate the role as god and king of the Underworld from the devil imagery that would only come later to society(and Disney’s portrayals of him didn’t help, even though I still am fond of them). So I’m enjoying the soft sadboi Hades we have now as a counter to that. I just wish people wouldn’t try to recontextualize his kidnapping of Persephone, just because they find him likable. He’s still basically the least *problematic* god in Greco-Roman mythology, and people familiar with them should understand that even then he couldn’t come out completely clean from those myths, because it was rare anyone did.

Hades = Satan is definitely annoying and Disney only gets a pass for me because that portrayal is so funny with it. I’m glad they ditched their original idea to play it straight with a booming voiced devil figure.

Hades for me has always struck me as the god who got given the least glamorous job, but he’s got that job to do and he’s going to do it. He’s like the ultimate fed up bureaucrat. He was gloomy but generally fair and just (imo because death is a great equaliser, no point in being unfair about anything.)

But yeah…Persephone. I like a “she girl bossed her way into his realm and went willingly” fanfic as much as the next person but trying to say that’s also how the Geeks saw it? Nah. He was still a god and didn’t operate on the same moral plain as the rest of us. He’s nowhere near as shitty as his brothers but still won’t be perfect.

Couldn’t agree more with all of this!

Hades WASN'T like that tho, in fact he was at least content with his area because it meant he didn't really have to deal with the others IIRC.
