Everything marked with * are the epithets that are appropriate for their domains, realms of influence, and associations
Notus "The Destroyer of Crops"
Notus (god of the south wind) is feared by mortals as the destroyer of crops. He is associated with the desiccating hot winds of summer and brought moist, misty weather and fog as well as the wet, storm-bringing winds of the late summer. He is known to be easily angered and fights with his brother, Boreas regularly, inciting massive storms. Despite all this, he is known to be quite lenient with thieves.
Eurus "The Unlucky One"
Eurus (god of the east wind) is associated with Autumn, warm weather, and rain. He enjoys hanging out with Helios, the sun god, and is known as the chill brother of the Anemoi. Though mostly quiet and reserved he is still a wind of storms, bringing heavy rains, and tornadoes, and described as turbulent on the ocean as he is known to toss ships about on the sea.
Zephyrus "The Gentle One" & Flora The herald of Spring, Zephyrus (god of the west wind) is known as the most gentle among his brothers. When he descends, he melts the winter snow, bringing with him life-giving winds, warmth, and the joy of spring. As a result of Zephyrus kissing Chloris, a nymph, she became Flora, the goddess of flowers and new growth.
Boreas "The Devouring One" & Orithyia
Boreas (god of the north wind) is associated with Winter, known for his strength and violent temper, bringing with him cold air and weather. He is said to have snakes for feet, which he hides under a long cloak.
A long time ago, Boreas became smitten with the mortal princess, Orithyia, whom he spotted dancing along a river bank near the city of Athens. Despite his attempts to gain her favor, she rejected every advance. Boreas quickly became angry and rose terribly into the sky, wrapping Orithyia in a cloud and bringing her back to his palace in the North.Β
The Anemoi - Greek gods of wind The Four Brothers: Zephyrus (The West), Notus (The South), Eurus (The East), and Boreas (The North).
Mythology Moodbaord: Greek-Children of Nyx
The Hesperides are Nymphs of the Sunset and the guardians of the Golden Apples. These 4 sisters where tasked with garding the grove of golden apples,which were said to make the consumer immortal. The sisters were given the task by Hera,who recived the tree om her wedding day from Gaia. But even so,the goddes didnt fully trust the nymphs to watch the grove by themsleves,so Hera placed Ladon, a 1000 headed dragon that never sleeps,to watch the grove and the Hesperides as well.

So... Did Hades Have Any Children At All?
It's very hard to tell wheter or not Hades indeed had any kids. The main reason for this is that Hades is believed to be impotent or at least infertile (though this is never specified in ancient sources) in about 90% of the myths. Which makes sense, considering the fact that he's the God of the Dead and rules over a realm where 99% of its residents are mortal souls.
But what about the other 10%? Well, he has less children than his brothers, that's for sure, and their number varies depending on the myths.
In some myths the Erinyes are considered to be his daughters, whom he conceived either with Nyx or Persephone. But both of these possibilities are labeled as weird by Greek Mythology Nerds because a) Nyx usually conceives her children either asexually or with Erebus, and b) it's very likeable that by the time when Persephone was kidnapped the Erinyes already existed. So people stick to the version where they are the daughters of Nyx and Erebus, and them being reffered to as the daughters of Hades is rather related to the way he treated them.
Another strange case is Plutus. Sometimes he's the son of Demeter and Iasion, sometimes the son of Tyche and Iasion, and sometimes he's the son of Demeter and Hades. Which would be cringe on many levels. Even weirder, Plutus is depicted both in the company of Demeter and Persephone, as well as in the company of Hades, and he's considered the younger brother of Melinoe and Zagreus even when they have completely different parents. My personal theory is that Plutus, being the God of Riches, was basically adopted by his uncle Hades (who's called The Rich One as Pluto) and he's currently treated like his son because they share some attributes. Also, Iasion was killed by Zeus, so he probably needed a new father figure (or someone who rules over the realm where the soul of his father lies now). Furthermore, Plutus is usually depicted either as a young boy or even as a child, so he's literally a babe.
And now, we will talk about the three divinities that are labeled as their children by the majority of this fandom: Macaria, Melinoe and Zagreus.
Macaria
Macaria is the one we know few to no things about. She is a daughter of Hades (who was basically mentioned only once in the Suda and that's how we know about her existence), and she's generally associated with a Blessed Death, being a softer counterpart of Thanatos. To make things a little bit complicated now, Heracles also named his daughter Macaria, so it's pretty hard to separate them both when you try to talk about any of them. Her mother is never mentioned, but technically it should be Persephone.
While specific descriptions of Macariaβs appearance are rare, she is often imagined as a serene and comforting presence, embodying the peace that comes with a blessed death. Unlike the fearsome depictions of other death-related deities, like Thanatos and Hecate, Macariaβs visage would likely be gentle, reflecting her role in easing the transition of the souls to the afterlife.
Since there are no recorded myths about Macaria, we can only guess about her personality based on the few mentions of her name and role. As the goddess of Blessed Death, Macaria would be compassionate and understanding. She represents the aspect of death that should not be feared. Instead it should be accepted as a natural and potentially beautiful part of the life cycle. Her demeanor would be calming, reassuring those on the verge of death.
Also, just as a little Fun Fact, some people ship her with Thanatos and consider them to be a natural pair, considering the fact that their attributes are making them complement each other. It's probably one of the most famous non-canon couples from Greek Mythology at this point.
Melinoe
Melinoe is the Goddess of Ghosts, and is also associated with Nightmares and Madness.
Now, about her parentage... *sighs*
The earliest versions of her story appear in Orphic Greek Mythology, which is completely different and complicated compared to your typical Vanilla Greek Mythology. So depending on the versions, her mother is Persephone, whereas her father is either Zeus or Hades (or both).
The most common version of her myth is that Zeus took the appearance of Hades and impregnated Persephone on the banks of the River Cocytus. Some people are arguing though, claiming that a) Hades was sometimes reffered to as Zeus of the Underworld due to the fact that people were too scared to say his name, and b) In Orphism Hades and Zeus are sometimes believed to be one and the same deity (I've told you that itβs complicated, guys!). What we know for sure though is that Persephone gave birth to her on the banks of the River Cocytus as well, while Hermes was acting like some sort of a bodyguard. One can hope that he got a raise after that...
There's also another version of her myth, though this one was transmitted orally rather than written. In this one Persephone remained pregnant with her after a midnight tryst with Hades on the Nysion Island (Ooo...).
Melinoe is described as being half dark and half pale (though this description might be metaphorical rather than literal, but at least Hel has a twin sister now), representing her dual nature, and is considered both a daughter of the Underworld and of Mount Olympus whoever her parents are.
It is believed that there's a strong connection between her and Hecate. Both preside over realms that are shrouded in mystery, and their domains often intersect in the world of spirits, night, and the unknown. Despite her eerie domain, Melinoe wasnβt inherently malevolent. She was a guardian of spirits, guiding them through the night. However, her association with nightmares and madness meant that she was often perceived with a mix of fear and reverence by the Ancient Greeks.
Melinoeβs primary role was to guide the spirits of the dead during the night. She would roam the earth, accompanied by a host of ghosts, ensuring they did not harm the living. It was believed that the reason why dogs bark at night is because they would see her and her ghosts and get scared. Additionally, she was the embodiment of nightmares, bringing forth visions and dreams that could both terrify and enlighten mortals. Her responsibilities also included maintaining the balance between the world of the living and the realm of the dead, ensuring that neither was disrupted by the other.
Zagreus
Ah, Zagreus... Where the hell should I begin?
Zagreus is firstly mentioned in Mycenaean Mythology, and it seems that he had a great importance thousands of years ago, but for some reason he lost it in time. In the earliest mention of Zagreus, he is paired withΒ GaiaΒ and called the highest god, though perhaps only in reference to the gods of the underworld.Β Aeschylus, however, links Zagreus withΒ Hades, possibly as Hades' son, or as Hades himself.
In the most famous version of his myth, which appears in the Orphic Hymns, Zeus raped Persephone in the form of a snake/dragon when she was FUCKING FOURTEEN and hidden in a cave, due to the fact that her mother decided to keep her there so that no god would take advantage of her (Spoiler Alert: it didn't work.). Later, when Zagreus was born, Hera found out about him and threw him into Tartarus, where he was dismembered by the Titans. Athena, however, managed to find his heart and gave it to Zeus. Zeus then asked Semele to eat that heart, which she did and soon after that she got pregnant with Dionysus. This is why Zagreus is sometimes called The Orphic Dionysus, why he is associated with rebirth and reincarnation, and why in some versions of the birth of Dionysus it is Persephone the one who raised him.
There are also people who claim that Zagreus is in fact the son of Hades and Persephone that later got merged/syncretized with the Orphic Dionysus, who is the son of Zeus and Persephone.
And last but not least, in the later versions of his myth he is simply the son of Hades and Persephone, and the God of Orphic Mysteries. In this version he is generally depicted as a skilled hunter who hunts during nighttime and sometimes even eats his prey raw. Also, he and Dionysus share a lot of attributes in common, because yes.
Now, it should be ALSO pointed out the fact that in the Orphic Greek Mythology Hades, Zeus and Dionysus are sometimes believed to be one and the same deity. A small hint that many people use as an argument in order to prove the connection between these three gods, more specifically between Hades and Dionysus, is that during the time when Demeter was searching for Persephone she refused to drink wine even when it was offered to her. But that's an idea and a concept that would take me hours to unpack and explain, and I'm already tired.

The Erinyes β Sun in Libra I
23 September 2023 at 2:50 am is the Autumn Equinox, where we enter the season of the Erinyes or Furies: "the blindfold & the sword" β are you on the chopping block, or the sword-swinger, in the battle for justice?
The Autumn Equinox occurs at the moment that the Sun crosses the boundary from Virgo to Libra β and this year, that occurs on 23 September 2023 at 2:50 am EDT. For me on US east coast time and in the eastern part of the Berkshires, this means weβre looking at a night chart when the Erinyes ride forth in their season of terror. Were apotropaic rites performed at this time of year to keep them atβ¦
