      @@boozledbamboozeler3822 I mean, the whole point of Supergiant's approach is that no one person or story owns the characters. They put Hecate in a European witch hat and gave Zagreus Lucifer's laser rifle to emphasize the fact that myths belong to everyone, across time and space and cultures.
      Have fun with your Melinoe. I'm sure she'll still be great, and there's room for infinite interpretations. I mean, have you seen how many Thors there are?

      I really think it is some type of prequel, when you see nemesis, she has the nemesis aspect sword. In the game it talks about ANCIENT aspects that Zagreus has. The aspects are from people beforehand, so unless nemesis comes back to grab her blade. This might be a prequel.

    2. Funny interactions between the chonic family (Zag, Persephone, etc) (I hear Rhea was kind of an OK mom, wonder what kind of Grandmother she would make)
    3. MORE GODS: Hera, Hephaestus, Hestia(is Bestia) etc)
    4. THE PRIMODIALS: Erebus, Tartarus,
    5. More famous Monsters and Heros (Odysseus, Heracles, (maybe not Jason he was kind of a douche) OH, Circe and Madea, both very famous and magical)

    I'm inclined to think Melinoe is Zagreus' younger sister, conceived after Persephone returned to the Underworld, and he's trying to hold back his Grandfather while she's trying to kill the old Titan or free their father again. First step is the training arc.
    I think Apollo and Artemis having radically different skin tones work with their opposing natures.
    You already mentioned Hephaestus, so.....Hestia?
    I think Chaos will still be Chaos. Melinoe may encounter Tartarus, but I don't see him giving boons so much as being a hazard to avoid until he drifts back to as deeper layer of sleep or his dreaming eye turns elsewhere.

Since Apollo is god over the daytime, he is out in the sun all the time, and it would make sense for him to have tanned skin. Artemis spends all her time out during the night, meaning her skin would stay pale.

Assuming Acheron is the one by Persephone's house since it's the only one that goes to the overworld, then we technically still haven't seen one of the rivers in Hades so maybe we're seeing wherever the River Cocytus goes through.

    I'd love to see either Phobos or Deimos the most. Could see the entire game as potentially a war against Chronos/Cronos/Cronus (I honestly have no clue how they're going to spell it in game). It'd be great to see a lot of the lesser known Gods but if they wanted to they could even bring in the rest of big Gods; Hera, Hephaestus and/or Hestia.
    Throughout the course of the game, might even get abilities from Hades or Persephone. The 2 people that were the end-goal of the last game sending their gifts to you to try and get them free.
    Might be interesting to also see Prometheus as some sort of ally...Though I'm not sure why he'd be in the underworld.
    Heracles, probably the most famous person in Greek myth, didn't show up in the previous game so this may be a good place for him to show up. He's also previously gone into the Underworld and returned.
    Might be quite interesting to see the Judges of the Dead. Maybe as one of the first bosses if we're trying to enter the Underworld instead of escape it this time. Could be similar to how the Furies worked in the first game where you fight 1 at a time. I could see all 3 appearing, one deciding to pass judgement while the other two leave.

      Phobos and Deimos would be LIT! Honestly everyone theorizing about what other minor gods or heroes or monsters might appear in this game is almost hyping me up as much as the trailer!
      I would love if Phobos and Deimos had features that directly affected each other, even on their regular boons. Alternatively, Apollo and Artemis (assuming she's returning, but given that she and Hecate have moon and night association I'm assuming she's in this one)

      I didn't notice that, but I did find out that the dual daggers Melinoe is given are both variants of Hecate's sacred knife, because Supergiant must have found out that she was associated alternately with a regular one and a sickle-bladed one and decided "You know what, both is good."
      Speaking of "both is good", Chronos/Cronos is a fun time. They're pulling their Orphic shenanigans again.

    I've been thinking about potential character appearances; its possible that we could actually see Daedalus this time, instead of his hammer. The gameplay could be that he could make rooms that can benefit you. I would also love to see more "ghosts" characters like Tantalus as well Circie and Medea as well, since they would fit the WItch theme. You say Erebus for the Chaos stand in..but if we are going deeper and deeper underground, I think Gaia could be a possiblyty as well; since she might have something to say about the Titans.

    Apparently Melinoe is described as dual-bodied, which has been interpreted a few ways, but making her half-ghost isn't bad. Her hymn also seems to imply that Zeus tricked Persephone into sleeping with him, and Melinoe was born from Persephone's rage once she found out she had been deceived, but that probably isn't the origin story they'll go with here.

    Yeah I think that is Melinoe the mythical Greek Goddess of Ghosts as the playable lead heroine as the ethereal beauty and the spectral arm kind of gives it away as the myths that did focus Melinoe did state she had an ethereal beauty, and was born with a regular arm and spectral arm. And her design looks myth accurate which I like as she has the ethereal beauty and spectral arm that was her trademarks of her appearance.

    Due to the similarities, the Greeks would often merge Cronos and Chronus into one being, but time is not born from the earth, like the Titan lord, but born with Chaos
