So ! I need to say that !
Hades & Persephone's relationship is canonically a loving and quite healthy relationship in the context of Greek mythology which represents a form of balance for the world through the cycle of the seasons. Persephone is not a victim of Hades either... Anyone who has studied Greek mythology can actually explain it to you.
That's a bad vision of the original myth due to a too modern interpretation. It's not the modern era that romanticizes this basic relationship. This was already the case in Greek times...
It even seems to me that Hades and Persephone were often represented on the vases given to newlyweds (pretty crazy, since Hera was literally the goddess of marriage) because they were always described as having a loving, supportive and harmonious marriage.
And if you're looking for a real culprit in the union of Hades & Persephone, there's literally Zeus, who authorized the marriage between the two after Hades came to ask him. Hades didn't kidnap Persephone as soon as he saw her. He first asked to his father, Zeus, for her hand in marriage, as in the Greek traditions of the time.
In some versions of the myth, it even seems to me that Aphrodite is the one who provoked Hades' love for Persephone by sending Eros to plant an arrow in her after being upset by a refusal. But for now, I'm not sure of Aphrodite's real involvement.
But regardless, in the original myth, the one blamed is actually very clearly Zeus. He is the one, once again, having authorized the kidnapping of Persephone, which in Greek traditions translates into an engagement, and who has caused the whole messy situation with poor Demeter.
As for the grenade episode, it doesn't seem to me that we can know the original version. So the whole "Hades forced Persephone to eat the pomegranate" thing is also bullshit.
There doesn't even seem to me to be any indication of Persephone having been mistreated in any way by Hades in the myth. It's again bullshit.
I'm making this post because I've had yet another person explain to me that Persephone is a victim of Hades and that our modern age romanticizes the relationship between the two.
"Yes. Like Persephone gets bastardised. Persephone was Hades's assault victim. People try to "modernize" her by making her want Hades (all while making Demeter to be in the wrong). Mina was Dracula's assault victim. People try to "modernize" her by making her cheat on Jonathan for Dracula."
Except no. Persephone is not a victim of Hades in the context of Greek myth. That's a stinking modern vision. Kind of ironic, when you argue that it's the modern view that stands in for the real version of Persephone being a victim of Hades when... well no. It's the modern era that makes Persephone a victim of abuse at the hands of Hades, (this all reminds me of how people make Rhaenyra a victim of grooming in her relationship with Daemon) while that is not the case in the context of the original myth. As I explained above, this interpretation is modern bullshit. And it is very important to transcribe the myths in their ancient context to understand their various messages, otherwise you will miss the point.
But I won't elaborate further because @cthonisprincess has already explained it very well. I invite you to go and see these reblogs below which detail the whole affair of Hades and Persephone in much more detail :
I even recommend this video :
youtube
My god, I can't believe that in 2024, people are still at the stage of demonizing Hades, even though he is one of the rare decents gods, and still claiming that Persephone is an assault victim of Hades... This is a shameful distortion of the original myth and a real bastardization of the goddess Persephone.
Also... we're literally talking about a myth. The goal of a myth is to be reinvented according to the times. So what does it matter that there are adaptations of the myth that differ from the said myth, or rather from the biased vision that some have of making Persephone a poor victim of the evil Hades ?!

I find the demonization of Demeter in supposedly feminist retellings of the Hades and Persephone story thoroughly fascinating because she was actually the myth's protagonist
A lot of retellings focus on the "lovebirds" but the myth was moreso focused on Demeter's quest to bring her daughter home than any romance they might've had. In fact, the original source material is entitled "Homeric Hymn to Demeter"
It followed the goddess of harvest searching desperately for the whereabouts of her kidnapped daughter, enlisting the help of deities and mortals alike along the way, and eventually forcing Zeus himself to come to a compromise through sheer stubborness and pure love for her child
An interpretation I really like is that the tale is an allegory for mothers in Ancient Greece whose daughters were taken away from them to be married off without them having any say in the matter
Putting all that aside, I'm really curious as to what prompted people to portray Demeter as a control freak who doesn't want to see her daughter happy with the one she loves when originally, she was simply a mother who fought tooth and nail to see her Persephone returned to her
#in which epher is shamelessly garrulous#late night rambles real#also yes this is mainly about lore olympus#mythological demeter defender till i die#she was one of the better gods#she had a temper but i dont recall her doing anything particularly evil like the other gods#sure she granted erisychthon insatiable hunger but that was after he cut down her sacred grove after she explicitly warned him not to#i haven't heard about her doing anything worse than that but i'd be interested in hearing about it if she has#and yes she did starve mankind which was what drove zeus to partly give persephone back but her child had literally been taken from her#it doesn't exactly justify it because people definitely died but it was a very human reaction and it displayed how much she loved persephon#while other gods' evil acts are usually done out of pleasure#anyways#greek mythology#demeter#persephone#hades#persephone and hades#hades and persephone#greek gods#lore olympus critical#lore olympus criticism#sorry people who enjoy lore olympus#ramblings

Demeter's pain.
I think we can all admit Demeter's pain, and anguish and sorrow is incredibly overshadowed by the medias admiration toward Hades and Persephone's separate relationship.
Persephone did not go willingly with Hades to the underworld. [fact]
Persephone was gathering flowers in the vale of Nysa when Hades "in a chariot pulled by black horses, emerged from the underworld and whisked her away unnoticed". She was abducted and snatched away from her home and her mother; Demeter heard Persephone's screams and cries as she was carried away but she was unable to find her. Demeter was understandably distraught and overcome with anger when she had found out from the sun god Helios that he had watched Hades abduct her daughter; whilst furious she caused a great famine and drought to spread across the entirety of Greece.
You quite literally cannot imagine the he hurt ; the intense feelings of betrayal and resentment she definitely felt towards her brother in those moments must have been overwhelming. Demeter was probably scared if not absolutely terrified for her daughter who was most likely only used to the mortal world. She refused to bring back summer and spring until her daughter as home safe.

I need him to love me with that fierce and primal urgency, as ancient and powerful as if it were drawn from the deepest well of human history and emotion, in his raw, deep, and potent ways ever known to mankind.

Untitled: Pre-LO Hades and Persephone Sketches by Rachel Smythe (Found on the WayBack Machine and Tumblr)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Hello!
Here is some more Lore Olympus Lost Media, more specifically, Pre-LO Lost Media!
These are little drawings of Persephone and Hades about a couple of years before Lore Olympus started and were part of a comic she was sketching at the time.
I don’t believe she ever made the comic these iterations of PxH were a part of outside of comic thumbnail sketches (which I have in my archives that I will post soon).
Enjoy!
