🌺Persephone To Hades🌺

You are the kindest thing that ever happened to me, even if that is not how our tale is told. When everyone else told me I was destined to be a forgotten nymph that nurtured flowers and turned meadows gold, You saw that the ichor that resides in me demanded it’s own thrown. You showed me how a love like ours can turn even the darkest, coldest realm into the happiest of homes.

Poseidon: are you in love with Persephone?

Hades, sweating: ...no

Poseidon: then why do you draw “H+P” in hearts everywhere?

Hades: it stands for hate and pain.

Mythology, am I right?

Why did i see the dead bee and the dead fox?

The only answer I hear is fate.

NAME: Macaria SPECIES: Goddess AGE: Immortal OCCUPATION: Blesses the pure souls before passing them on to her father FC: Phoebe Tonkin

STATUS: OPEN

BIOGRAPHY:

Macaria is the Goddess of Blessed Death. She represents the pure souls who pass through the Underworld untouched and unsullied, free to pass on without punishment. Her job mainly involves examining those who have died, assessing the moral status of their life, and choosing whether they deserve the sanctity of a peaceful passing and afterlife. She is young for a deity, the middle child of Hades and Persephone’s brood, and is still very much in the process of perfecting her skills.

Despite a hard outer layer of sarcasm and wit, Macaria is a very merciful young goddess. Deep down she has the absolute sweetness of her mother, and though death is her forte, she would never actually bring harm to any other being unless she absolutely had no choice. She appreciates the balance between life and death, curious to learn more about the actual reincarnation and rebirth of beings after they have passed on through her hands.

She doesn’t particularly enjoy being the middle child, and feels as though she is sometimes overlooked, despite how much both of her parents dote on her. Melinoe is the sweet one, and Zagreus, well, he has a whole different reason for warranting attention. Because of this she doesn’t allow her feelings to slip out, choosing to keep them under lock and key. Sometimes the gentle tongue of her mother can ease some of her troubles away, but even this is a rare occurrence.

FACTS:

Has a sarcastic, witty and slightly flirtatious outer shell

Dig a little deeper and you’ll see how sweet she can be

Spends most of her time flitting between Athens and the Underworld - brings her approved souls down to her father

Hey!! First of all, I love your blog!! Second of all, I remember a while ago someone had asked you if Hades ever had any children and I think you said he didn't/you weren't sure (i read it a loongg time ago so forgive me if I don't remember everything or get some things wrong) But don't Hades and Persephone have a child together? I forget her name but she's supposed to be the goddess of ghosts or something along those lines

You might be thinking of Macaria, who is mentioned in the Suda as being the daughter of Hades, although not of Persephone; her mother isn’t mentioned. In this text, Macaria is listed as the goddess of ‘blessed death’ (ie death that wasn’t caused by lame stuff like hiccoughs or cowardice). She’s not found in any other canons though, and is a very minor figure in the Suda, so it’s basically accepted that Hades and Persephone did not have children.

It’s also possible that you’re thinking of Mesperyian, who was invented in a 2009 fanfiction and was described as the daughter of Hades and Persephone. In this fanfiction, Mesperyian is given the title of goddess of pain and torture, and the story goes that Aphrodite was envious of her beauty and burned her face. However, I cannot stress enough that, despite the weird way the story has permeated Tumblr, it is fanfiction. Mesperyian does not appear in a single Greek myth. She’s, like, totally a poser. I discredited her here, but may end up doing a post in future about her, because so many people seem to think she was part of the pantheon when she wasn’t.

The more in depth post about Hades’ children in various canons is here, which discusses Zagreus as the son of Hades as well.
