there used to be a bit of dialogue in the beginning of "how long" in which persephone asks "how long have we been married" and hades responds "since the world began". which, taken literally, is incorrect, since the beginning of the world in greek mythology happens before persephone's parents and hades are born. so, in reality, he's not saying they've been married since the world began, but that, to him, the world only began after they fell in love. he lived before meeting her, but now the idea of a world in which he doesn't love her yet is inconceivable to him. "it was like she was someone you'd always known".
