Persephone & Hades - A Match Made in Hell - Greek - Extra Mythology

Loved the MTG reference! Keep up the great work! ❤

To give Hades credit. Zeus would have just assaulted Persephone and left. At least Hades asked Someone

If it must be the kidnapping variation I always preferred the versions where Posideon kidnapped her. Hades kidnapping her was rather out of character for him in every other tale. There's also versions where she goes to Hades willingly. And Extra History portraying her as not liking him and wanting to GTFO is not really accurate to, well, ANY version of the story I've read so I dunno where that came from other than a modern distaste of ancient classics. Which kind of, you know, runs purely antithetical to trying to retell historical myths.

“Not that anyone asked” THE SHADE AT GREEK MYTHOLOGY’S LACK OF CARE OVER FEMALE CONSENT LMAO

You cut a lot of context out of the story and end up making Hades look far worse than he was.

Siren look again harpy different monster or did you read the oddessy

You missed the part where in her bereft grief, Demeter tried to fill that void by acting as a nanny for a wealthy couple. She was even doing a daily ritual of giving their baby immortality via. a fire ritual. However, that was ruined when the mother caught Demeter seemingly roasting the baby on the fire, and that’s when Demeter revealed herself. She asked that the couple build her a temple. After the temple was built, then she went on to neglect the plants and stuff.

Thats the hottest title for the video they could ever get (pun intended)

Hey Persephone and Hades were a good couple

Your title is nonsense. Hades oversaw all of the Greek/Roman afterlife. Tartarus (which is what I'm pretty sure you actually mean) was only one part of it. It could as well be Elysium.

Perfectly acceptable behavior back then, perfectly normal!

"Zues had quite a fondness for his humans" wasen't he the one who made pandora, and took fire from us.

There are some stories thou where she came with him willingly soo this mingth not be that bad but its still the healtiest relationship among the greek gods

it wasn't even a "kidnapping". it was an arraigned marriage and the real culprit was Zeus

“They call me evil. Villain. The Devil. But the joke is on them. For I don’t care what they call me. I don’t care what they think of me. I have a duty to fulfill, and such petty things can not detract me from responsibilities.

All Gods have a duty to the world for we are bound to it and it’s people. But only I take it seriously. Only I don’t treat the world like my playground and the mortals as my playthings.

I am firstborn of Kronos and eldest of the Olympians. Cheated out of my birthright by my own family, my own siblings! Yet I got the most important job of all, dispite no one knowing it. For in the hands of any of the lesser mature Gods I call my family, the dead would flood the world of the living.

So let them spew their lies. Let them believe their falsehoods. It makes no difference nor matters not to me. After all…” sly smirk “All become my subjects eventually.”

-Hades on Pop culture’s view of him.

In the version of the story l knew (which there many) that when Hermes visited Hades and Persephone they were sitting talking on their thrones. When Hermes told her what Demeter what she was doing Hades actually let her go talk to her mother put yeah after that the whole seeds thing. It is good story because Hades never cheated on her (except once) but she would always return willing to him every autumn. He didn't have to kidnap her every time. It is a strange Greek love story where the woman was actually granted great power. Also, Greeks feared her so much they called her 'the Maiden' because she would be waiting for you across the River Styx. If she was gone when you died you had to wait to be formally let in.

I hate hades because he invited winter.....

jeez you put a lot emphasis on the bad stuff

How

Demeter really pulled a kirby

Demeter: I don't even want to know what that monster is doing to my dear daughter

Meanwhile in the underworld:

Persephone: thanks honey now I don't have to worry about my control freak mother and we can be married happily as equals

My mother and father are cousins

Slight in innacuracy: Persephone hated Demeter and Zeus.

There’s incest in Mythology

Sooo, just a thing. Demethra's name isn't pronounced Demethr, sorry. The "a" at the end of her name isn't just to make it look more like a feminine name, but to be read. I mean, Dimitar is a male name in bulgarian, and there are similar names in many slavic languages, plus Greek.
Sooo, yea. And usually I don't have such a problem with the names, but the way you pronounce Demethra's name just sounds like Dimitar, and that's my father's name, and I don't like him, like at all, and don't enjoy having his name in my Greek mythology videos, especially ones, where this name isn't present.
One love ❤️

When you take a rose and of all the sudden you get kidnapped by your uncle Hades

Zeus loves humans so much he fricks them

You kinda got to love that this video portrays hades as the worst and Zeus as loving humans. It's kinda laughably inaccurate

Its funny how Hades is always treated as a satan analogue, yet Demeter- who cursed innocent bystanders into monsters who would go and kill other innocent bystanders, and who planned to deliberately kill all of human kind, is treated as a overly protective mother at worst. Kidnapping someone to marry them is Horrible, no way around it, its just interesting that while we have versions of the tale that make Hades far better, or far worse, the god in the story that caused the most harm usually gets treated very well by writers.

I know there are a lot of different versions but this is the weirdest version I’ve ever heard

Rasputin what are you doing here!?

Port towns should be fine as fishing is under posidon I think

A kidnapping somehow resulted in the most wholesome relationship

Watch Overly Sarcastic Production's Hades and Persephone video, Extra Credits is inaccurate and twists the story. Persephone simply missed her mother and that title of "Queen of the Underworld" is not a meaningless one, she is Hades' equal, she is Dread Persephone.

I mean they were the most functioning couple in the godly Greeks

i feel like this is a missinterpretation

Every time I hear this story I just think "Damn, supergiant games did an amazing job adapting this in a much less rapey and really amazing way"

From what we've seen, Hades had no idea how to act around women EXCEPT by his brother's example.

pomegranate That misspelling is more proof that the so-called Internet Generation is nothing of the kind.

Meh just not right without Hades's bribe to Zeus.

She can't be a goddess of vegetation because she's not she's only the goddess of the underworld also persephone was never considered to be upset with being in the underworld
