And although he may have screwed up with kidnapping his wife he seems to be the only god who doesn’t regularly cheat on his wife. On top of it Hades is a saint compared to Zeus. He took Persephone because he was lonely and she was beautiful and vibrant.Īnd yeah kidnapping Persephone was pretty dickish but at the same time you can interpret his actions as being a product of not knowing how to talk to her or possibly even having been given bad advice from his brother Zeus. Mind you the underworld is considerably more roomy and he is now the richest of the gods (because that’s where all the jewels and precious metals are) and has a very important job. So he went from one dark lonely place to another dark lonely place. How can I make that claim? well for starters there’s the fact that he grew up trapped in his fathers stomach (along with Poseidon) but unlike Poseidon who gets to rule the sea a beautiful land full of pretty sea life and fish and mermaids and shit. It’s a shame everyone depicts this guy as a villain, when in reality he’s a socially awkward, lonely, woobie. But if you do a little digging Hades is oddly the odd man out in this. A good part of this is because most of the Greek gods are shallow narcissistic assholes. The Greek pantheon is actually my least favorite mythology. So I’ll let you guys in on a little secret.
