Sticker sheet I made recently! ^^ Hades and Hades II <3

[pauputoot]

in the orphic tradition of greek myth, Zagreus and Dionysus get conflated sometimes. this is poked fun at in Hades 1, when Zag and Dionysus decide to mess with Orpheus by saying they're the same person

sparked by that, Orpheus then writes the in-game song "Hymn to Zagreus," which ends up basically detailing the Zagreus myth in the real life orphic tradition, but within the game is full of hilariously blatant misinformation

now Hades 2 is supposedly diving even deeper into stuff from the real life orphic tradition, which is said to be based off hymns from Orpheus himself so wouldn't it be hilarious if Melanoe's entire perception of her own literal brother was based off information from a stupid prank
