Can we like, stop making Hades out to be a bad guy in Greek myth and zues to be a good guy. Honestly Hades is like not even evil in most Greek iterations. Zues is the one who fucked everyone and caused issues. Zues is the fuckup, Hades mostly just wanted a wife. And in most iterations she willingly went no trickery and willingly wanted to stay. And after thousands of years Demeter is still upset about it. Persephone willingly stayed Hades isn't evil, and neither is the location known by the same name.
Actually insane of you to tag this as Hellenic polytheism. Please refrain from using our tags if you're going to trash our gods. Let alone the king of them.
There's also the fact that you are dead wrong. There is not a single Greek or Roman source that depicts Persephone as a willing bride to Haides.
This is a lot of talk about tags from someone with the fucking Hercules movie in their bio. The most inaccurate version of any Greek gods ever. "Our tags" include me, Hellenistic polytheism is what I follow. The king of the gods is in fact an asshole objectively. 7 years of the Odyssey was his fault. He fucked so many people some with consent some without. He is objectively a bad person. Also, my friend who also follows it and worships Zues agrees he's an asshole.
I have a question for you, in Greek myth who has to complete 12 labors?
