I'm playing Hades for the first time (got it for free through a friend) and it's really fun! I didn't buy it because I didn't think I would like the gameplay but I'm addicted now lol. The only retelling of a Hades/Persephone dynamic that I actually like. The mythology is also pretty good and I'm trying not to classics degree the fun out of it. But why is Dionysus there and not Apollo

#Zagreus and Dionysus are the same person #it's greek mythology complicated but when Zagreus (son of Persephone and Zeus) is killed Zeus uses the pieces to create Dionysus #(who is born via Semele and Zeus)#so Zagreus-Dionysus is a combination of Greek and Anatolian (unknown origin exactly) dieties #so they kind of are different but also. not
