Jeez poor guy, dealing with two normal obsessed women is one thing, but two obsessed goddesses is way worse especially if there already dating someone like Ares.
He was getting passed around by some of the male gods also since he had a androgynous approach. The moment they found him he was trapped. In other version the reason Persephone was in love with him was because she was his foster mother and Aphrodite who cursed his mom found him as a baby and eventually came back to see how he grown and then fell for him.
Aphrodite: “Return my lover to me Hades!” Hades: “No. You can’t just step into my realm without permission and start demanding the unreasonable!” Persephone: “Yeah! He’s not your lover anyway. He’s mine.” Aphrodite: “What?” Hades: “What?” Poor Hades, the man was just doing his job…
In a version of this story, Aphrodite finds orphaned baby Adonis and gives him to Persephone to be raised in the Underworld. He grows up being super hot and Aphrodite is like “Can I keep him?” and Persephone is like “Here to the nah!” That’s basically it. I like that version better because it’s unique for a mortal to be raised in the Underworld. Edit: recently found out that this version is older than the one in the video.
Honestly I prefer the version your talking about since it still feels more in character for Persephone and it still feels like something Aphrodite would still do
In some myths, Adonis gave the 1/3 of his personal time to be with Aphrodite because of her powers of seduction. So technically it became 2/3 of the time with Aphrodite.

It's funny how Adonis was a hunter, and yet Artemis, the goddess of the hunt, was one of the surprisingly few gods to not be present in the story at all.
so wait, technically speaking, Adonis only got the love of these 2 goddesses because of a arrow that made them love him, in all honesty, while I know the legend well enough, that's always been my though, also for this man, the attention of one god can spell disaster, but 2, and subsequently more, this guy was doomed at that moment
Well at least there isn't any gruesome ending. Because of the nature of these myths I was half expecting Adonis to be ripped from both arms. I'm happy that it is a kinda good ending for him.
A headcanon on Hades's and Persephone's relationship: At first, Hades kept his actual appearance of a much older God married to his much younger niece. But after Persephone fell in love with Adonis, Hades became insecure about his form thinking that Persephone wouldn't love him as he is, so he took on a younger look closer to that of Adonis and started to act closer to his wife's age hoping that would win her back over.
I headcanon that he meets Mynthe or the other girl after this, but nothing happened as it felt more like heartfelt platonic romance compare to Zeus' and Poseidon's shenanigans However, the girls still eventually turn into plants by Persephone and one of them got stomped by her multiple times
@@Duck-zf5pb My headcanon is that it was a moment of weakness on Hades's part, given that he was meeting an old lover of his, but he quickly came back to his senses as his love was now for Persephone. And simultaneously Persephone was swooning over Adonis behind Hades's Back. After the whole Adonis thing, Hades approached Persephone to tell her about what almost happened between him and Mynthe, taking pride in his loyalty and devotion to her, how he managed stay strong in the face of Mynthe's seduction however close she got to seizing him, and that is when Persephone confessed about what had been going on between her, Aphrodite and Adonis. Hades just embraced her, both laughing off the coincidence of how both of them were going through similar situations at the same time. But inside, what Persephone said almost broke Hades, in face of seduction, he stayed devoted to her, while she in face of a mere mortal that was happily spending his days with Aphrodite, she went on his pursuit. That is when the thought that his devotion to Persephone might just not be enough after all to keep her happy started to seep into his mind, and it was what pushed him to change his attitudes and appearance to be closer to Adonis.
Adonis is originally a Phoenician God, and his story happened in mount of Lebanon. he s been killed by God of Death "mot" at the river. Each year the river of Adonis during winter turns red like the blood of Adonis "the river turns red because of the strong water during winter and the soil of the river" . he's Phoenician name is "Adon".
Although Persephone might have cheated on Hades, it seems to me that it’s only because of Eros pulling a prank that went haywire. It look like that Persephone was just happy to see a happy couple before Eros appeared and shot that arrow
It's not 'might', she did. it doesn't technically matter whether or not it was because of Eros arrows that cause Persephone to fall for Adonis, She CHOSE to be unfaithful despite knowing she is already married to her husband. She could've at least go the other Gods to help her with her unwanted feeling towards Adonis, but no.
The arrows just metaphorically represent love, it just means she feel in love. I have to say I'm disappointed about Persephone ahah, even if I shouldn't consider gods through the lens of human values (they weren't meant to in the myths).
Tell this Myth to all the people that keeps saying Persephone is loyal to Hades. Lots of people keeps saying Hades and Persephone is the only relationship that's different from the rest of the family. Show this to them.
Well TBH, if not for Eros, there is a possibility she would have been loyal to Hades but I get your point. Greek mythology has a lot of different accounts of events.
Depend how you read it. Persephone was like an Mother to Adonis so it is more the Site of her Mother Demeter that is showing... And we don't really know much about the love-life of Hades and Persephone. Can be he like it to share his wife? I mean both of his brothers did habe male lovers too.
@@thalmoragent9344 She still CHOSE to pursue that love knowing she is already married. the questions are: did she think about Hades when she felt the love for Adonis?, did she ever attempted to turn away from that love? or even seek help get rid of the love? and Did persephone ever told her husband that she cheated on him and say it was Eros fault?.
6 gods/goddesses(not counting Hermes, because he was just doing his job) involving themselves in the life and death of a single mortal man just because he looked good, who had no power or choice in any of this. Pretty much sums up just how bad the Ancient Greek Gods were.
the fact that my father used to know this guy is pretty much all the explanation I need to know about hunting being a key factor in the family experience.
Little did they know that Adonis used be known as Jeffery, a socially awkward nerd who can't talk to girls and play video games 10 hours a day.... It was when he start doing the hard work especially when he dont feels like it, he became Adonis
Oh yeah sure blame this one on eros so the Hades x persephone otp remains good but when other olympians do that kind of stuff we blame them also search leuke and minthe whom hades cheated on persephone with Hades would have probably had as many cheating myths as his brothers if ancient greeks weren't afraid of writing about underworld gods but don't let this convince you he is morally superior to them or anything
A classmate of mine was named adonis. Coincidentally the 2nd place of our 1st periodical test had a crush on him, the class president had a crush on him, heck the teacher mentioned he held hands with his friend and seatmate and the fact they both blushed a bit of probably embarrassment. His friend and seatmate moved to sports class though, and he moved to the class of the newest teacher. Edit : his friend and seatmate was a guy, the class president and the seatmate were no longer 'shipped' or have 'crushes' on Adonis. But the 2nd place of our 1st periodical test STILL likes the dude. Edit II: 2nd placer likes both new kid and Adonis now
Tate better start taking notes. Also the fact Persophone wasnt actually in love with Adonis until getting the Arrow rather being happy for Aphrodite is a true friend right there.
@@colinpreston80 Well, Reggie IS that one friend that no one likes, and Ares is not well liked by anyone who isn't Aphrodite or the Spartans, so possibly.
Idk about you all but I think if any goddess you'd fear to reject most it's probably Athena lol. Zeus is the king or sleaazebags but Athena is the queen of cold hearted vengeance. The things Athena has done in mythology over the most trivial of offenses are worse than death and if she showed up I'd probably cave into my fear do what she says lol.
I love Greek myths. Even the gods are helpless to fight their own inner lusts and passions. Imagine gods who are all powerful, but not all good. Sometimes, you can make a case that the Greek gods better mirrored reality than any other Western religion. Sometimes it's very hard to believe that an all loving God is running the Universe. Christians spend much of their time "apologizing" for God the Father when compared to his running of things. The Greeks didn't have to. They accepted the wild, irrational nature of life as a given.
Yet there is not a greek today that still worships them. So much for imitating reality. At least my religion is real. Also my people don't apologize on behalf of God. The Greeks do tho.
Greek Mythology Headcanon: This story takes place around the same time Hades cheats on Persephone with Minthe. Minthe sees Eros hit Persephone with his arrow then later sees Ares scheme about killing Adonis. She makes the conclusion that if Persephone would get with Adonis in the underworld, she would get Hades all to herself (as she had the hots for him). Once Adonis reaches the underworld and Persephone started getting “friendly” with him, Minthe made her move on Hades and seducted him into sleeping with him. When Aphrodite arrives in the underworld she and Persephone get into a fight over Adonis, Persephone briefly leaves to get a drink (she has Kerberos make sure the Goddess of Love didn’t run off with “Prince Charming”) only to find her husband balls-deep in the nymph. The Queen of the underworld is so enraged by this, she turns Minthe into her name but without the “he”. Hades admits that Minthe came onto him and starts tearing up as he says “I know somewhere deep down in your heart, you still love me”. Persephone then starts crying as the two embrace and she admits about what she was doing with Adonis. Hades isn’t angry with Persephone just disappointed. The two work out what to do with Adonis, but by the time they were ready to present their comprise, Aphrodite had distracted Kerberos and ran off with Adonis. The monarchs of the dead eventually catch-up to Aphrodite and Adonis and go to Olympus to work things out. Aphrodite then recalls the time she accidentally got pierced by Eros’ arrows. Eros is punished by being forced to carry round all of Artemis’ hunting and Apollo’s music gear. Hades suggests that “when Persephone leaves him she takes Adonis with her” Zeus and the others start piecing everything together and we get the eventual compromise as in the story. But Persephone now knows that Eros made her fall in love with Adonis, so she makes a full commitment to Hades and whilst she’s in the underworld Adonis becomes Persephone’s private servant (he also sometimes helps Charon ferry the dead across the Styx during particularly bad winters) Because hey! Might as well make Persephone just as committed to the relationship as Hades is to her. (Hades lets Persephone be herself as she has and a relationship with her mother similar to Isabela and Abuela Alma from Encanto)
One of the few Greek myths I've never read or heard off. What it's history? we're about is this myth mostly told in ancient Greek? What century? Wow. I must study and research this tell. Well done. There are only a few story that not many people who are into Greek myths know. I bet this one of them.. .like before the 1st gods and goddess, out of Cheos, a female and a snake came out 1st and created gaia, nyx,unarnus, etc.. can't remember the names of the deity,s. great show.👍😊
7:30 Wow that was totally awesome about story of Adonis: The Man Disputed by Two Goddesses. Seriously Persephone and Aphrodite are falling in love Adonis, but that was great story.
Imagine that Aphrodite extinguished love between Hades and Persephone and made their marriage unbearable. Oh wait she did it and that was a short fracture of Aphrodite's power. What if Aphrodite would've refused Zeus 's idea and kept love extinguished forever? Nobody can command the goddess of love on how to use her power.
I vividly recall one myth where even Zeus was restrained by other Olympians. If all other gods got fed with Zeus then I doubt Aphrodite would fare any better.
@@wankingmiracle7470Aphrodite with a single look can make anyone falls under her spell. I don't think Zeus would dare to anger her since she has the power over love. According to Hesiod, Aphrodite was the daughter of the two primordial gods, sky (Uranus) and sea (Pontus) if we are talking about her origins. Zeus refused to choose between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite because he knew that Aphrodite cursed so many gods and mortals who insulted her, Athena woul've refused to conquer her father's enemies and Hera has angry issues.
@@wankingmiracle7470 is there a passage that denies her powers and influence? Her power doesn't affect Athena, Hestia and Artemis because of their vow of chastity, the vow Aphrodite was forced to respect. Homer, Iliad 14. 159 & 187 ff (trans. Lattimore) (Greek epic C8th B.C.) : "She called aside Aphrodite to come away from the rest of the gods, and spoke a word to her : ‘. . . Give me loveliness and desirability, graces with which you overwhelm mortal men, and all the immortals."
I feel so bad for this dude, two crazy goddesses fighting over him. And the dude unintentionally made enemies with Hades and Ares, who I will remind you, aren’t the type of people you want to be beefing with.
This reminds me of a story in the Bible where two women were fighting over a baby and to resolve the conflict a man said he would cut the child in two so they could both have it.
LOL so many people can’t handle the idea that Persephone had an affair so they make up things like “But it wasn’t her fault, it was Eros’ arrow!” I don’t know where this video got that idea from, but it certainly didn’t get it from Greek mythology.
they did miss the part where Aphrodite finds Adonis as a baby inside a tree and then entrustes him to Persephone. I've never heard the version where Aphrodite fell in love with him as an adult.
WAIT a minute!! Persephone? As in Hades' WIFE Persephone?!? How did I never learn of THIS version?!? BTW Interesting Fact; it's been theorized that this is the origin of the Erymanthian Boar
The typical version is that Persephone serves as a mother figure to Adonis and Persephone as a lover. It’s similar to how Demeter and Persephone relationship was in which they only meet at certain times.
Hades: I apreciate the services Adonis! Adonis: * i hope none of them realises that i sleep with him too* 😬 Nah, i'm joking, i wonder where did you get this version of the myth, i never hears this one before.
And technically as Aphrodite came from the sea foam of Ouranos's (Hades' grandfather) severed testicles, she is more like Persephone's great-aunt...so yeah, you're being fought over by your adopted mother and her grand aunt. A really, really, *REALLY* hot grand-aunt.

@@thalmoragent9344 She still CHOSE to pursue that love knowing she is already married. the questions are: did she think about Hades when she felt the love for Adonis?, did she ever attempted to turn away from that love? or even seek help get rid of the love? and Did persephone ever told her husband that she cheated on him and say it was Eros fault?.
6 gods/goddesses(not counting Hermes, because he was just doing his job) involving themselves in the life and death of a single mortal man just because he looked good, who had no power or choice in any of this. Pretty much sums up just how bad the Ancient Greek Gods were.
Fantastic video! Love the animation and length is just right.

Afrodite: No, he is mine.

Oh yeah sure blame this one on eros so the Hades x persephone otp remains good but when other olympians do that kind of stuff we blame them also search leuke and minthe whom hades cheated on persephone with Hades would have probably had as many cheating myths as his brothers if ancient greeks weren't afraid of writing about underworld gods but don't let this convince you he is morally superior to them or anything
@@omarsalem1219 he stopped. If you choose to believe Greek myths, then Persephone has been doing this 3000 years.
A classmate of mine was named adonis.
Coincidentally the 2nd place of our 1st periodical test had a crush on him, the class president had a crush on him, heck the teacher mentioned he held hands with his friend and seatmate and the fact they both blushed a bit of probably embarrassment. His friend and seatmate moved to sports class though, and he moved to the class of the newest teacher.
Edit : his friend and seatmate was a guy, the class president and the seatmate were no longer 'shipped' or have 'crushes' on Adonis. But the 2nd place of our 1st periodical test STILL likes the dude.

Some myths claim after the 3rds between the goddess it came for him to choose one. But he chose Aphrodite and Persephone vanished Adonis’s soul
She vanished him out of existence?

@@colinpreston80 Well, Reggie IS that one friend that no one likes, and Ares is not well liked by anyone who isn't Aphrodite or the Spartans, so possibly.
Wow a Greek Mythology story that kind of had a happy ending that's surprising.
Shout out ma boi cupid for doing all the hard work behind the scenes.
Idk about you all but I think if any goddess you'd fear to reject most it's probably Athena lol. Zeus is the king or sleaazebags but Athena is the queen of cold hearted vengeance. The things Athena has done in mythology over the most trivial of offenses are worse than death and if she showed up I'd probably cave into my fear do what she says lol.
Love the art keep up the work and hope for a Aphrodite and Ares video.
I feel like this story would’ve been better instead swap out Persephone for Artemis.
Adonis vs hades! Who has more interesting character?
Personally, it wouldn't fit Artemis since she has no interest in men
Artemis is a sworn vergin
Not better imo. Artemis doesn't engage into affairs.
@animeweebu2875 I feel like if it was a random mortal fighting for adonis with aphrodite aphrodite would probably vaporise her
@animeweebu2875 yeah
I love Greek myths. Even the gods are helpless to fight their own inner lusts and passions. Imagine gods who are all powerful, but not all good. Sometimes, you can make a case that the Greek gods better mirrored reality than any other Western religion. Sometimes it's very hard to believe that an all loving God is running the Universe. Christians spend much of their time "apologizing" for God the Father when compared to his running of things. The Greeks didn't have to. They accepted the wild, irrational nature of life as a given.
Yet there is not a greek today that still worships them. So much for imitating reality. At least my religion is real. Also my people don't apologize on behalf of God. The Greeks do tho.
@@patriciafrancis1514 Debatable

I feel bad for Persephone and Hades. Both were victims of Eros' petty jealousy. They actually love each other.
The comics and narration are really great
5:11
Aphrodite seemed like a badass!🔥
An Epic of Gilgamesh-animation would be cool!
Adonis got some serious rizz
Greek Mythology Headcanon:
This story takes place around the same time Hades cheats on Persephone with Minthe. Minthe sees Eros hit Persephone with his arrow then later sees Ares scheme about killing Adonis. She makes the conclusion that if Persephone would get with Adonis in the underworld, she would get Hades all to herself (as she had the hots for him). Once Adonis reaches the underworld and Persephone started getting “friendly” with him, Minthe made her move on Hades and seducted him into sleeping with him. When Aphrodite arrives in the underworld she and Persephone get into a fight over Adonis, Persephone briefly leaves to get a drink (she has Kerberos make sure the Goddess of Love didn’t run off with “Prince Charming”) only to find her husband balls-deep in the nymph. The Queen of the underworld is so enraged by this, she turns Minthe into her name but without the “he”. Hades admits that Minthe came onto him and starts tearing up as he says “I know somewhere deep down in your heart, you still love me”. Persephone then starts crying as the two embrace and she admits about what she was doing with Adonis. Hades isn’t angry with Persephone just disappointed. The two work out what to do with Adonis, but by the time they were ready to present their comprise, Aphrodite had distracted Kerberos and ran off with Adonis. The monarchs of the dead eventually catch-up to Aphrodite and Adonis and go to Olympus to work things out. Aphrodite then recalls the time she accidentally got pierced by Eros’ arrows. Eros is punished by being forced to carry round all of Artemis’ hunting and Apollo’s music gear. Hades suggests that “when Persephone leaves him she takes Adonis with her” Zeus and the others start piecing everything together and we get the eventual compromise as in the story. But Persephone now knows that Eros made her fall in love with Adonis, so she makes a full commitment to Hades and whilst she’s in the underworld Adonis becomes Persephone’s private servant (he also sometimes helps Charon ferry the dead across the Styx during particularly bad winters)
Because hey! Might as well make Persephone just as committed to the relationship as Hades is to her. (Hades lets Persephone be herself as she has and a relationship with her mother similar to Isabela and Abuela Alma from Encanto)
I hope you don't mind if I use this as my headcanon as well, this makes a lot of sense and it doesn't make me hate the myth as much as I did.
@@expertfilmliam go ahead
One of the few Greek myths I've never read or heard off. What it's history? we're about is this myth mostly told in ancient Greek? What century? Wow. I must study and research this tell. Well done. There are only a few story that not many people who are into Greek myths know. I bet this one of them.. .like before the 1st gods and goddess, out of Cheos, a female and a snake came out 1st and created gaia, nyx,unarnus, etc.. can't remember the names of the deity,s. great show.👍😊
to all questions, the myth is unreliable and likely a self insert of the writer, as for century if I had to guess 400 bc
@@neros398 Tf do you mean “unreliable”? This is an actual myth
7:30 Wow that was totally awesome about story of Adonis: The Man Disputed by Two Goddesses. Seriously Persephone and Aphrodite are falling in love Adonis, but that was great story.
FINALLY! I've waited so long for Adonis' story in this style. I really thought he was going to be blonde with blue eyes though.
I thank Adonis, The First Gigachad for embracing our world.
So this is the guy Hamza has been talking about. Now I have one more reason to grind. Keep up the grind kings!
I now know the reason why some of the gods have bad relationships also since when did Aphrodite become your average anime waifu
Imagine that Aphrodite extinguished love between Hades and Persephone and made their marriage unbearable. Oh wait she did it and that was a short fracture of Aphrodite's power. What if Aphrodite would've refused Zeus 's idea and kept love extinguished forever? Nobody can command the goddess of love on how to use her power.
I vividly recall one myth where even Zeus was restrained by other Olympians.
If all other gods got fed with Zeus then I doubt Aphrodite would fare any better.
@@wankingmiracle7470Aphrodite with a single look can make anyone falls under her spell. I don't think Zeus would dare to anger her since she has the power over love. According to Hesiod, Aphrodite was the daughter of the two primordial gods, sky (Uranus) and sea (Pontus) if we are talking about her origins. Zeus refused to choose between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite because he knew that Aphrodite cursed so many gods and mortals who insulted her, Athena woul've refused to conquer her father's enemies and Hera has angry issues.
@@marian1000brb Is there passage that confirms that Aphrodite's power work on fellow gods?
@@wankingmiracle7470 is there a passage that denies her powers and influence? Her power doesn't affect Athena, Hestia and Artemis because of their vow of chastity, the vow Aphrodite was forced to respect.
Homer, Iliad 14. 159 & 187 ff (trans. Lattimore) (Greek epic C8th B.C.) :
"She called aside Aphrodite to come away from the rest of the gods, and spoke a word to her : ‘. . . Give me loveliness and desirability, graces with which you overwhelm mortal men, and all the immortals."
Sounds like Ares would be pretty stoked. No love would mean a huge rise in war.
I feel so bad for this dude, two crazy goddesses fighting over him. And the dude unintentionally made enemies with Hades and Ares, who I will remind you, aren’t the type of people you want to be beefing with.
Bro got that heavenly rizz 💀

It’s generic. I think I’ve seen styles similar to this thousands of times?
Actually this guy was so beautiful that it wasn't only Aphrodite and Persephone that loved him, but also Apollo, Heracles and even Dionysus.
*Surprised Pikachu face
Persephone: "not taking no for an answer"
Zeus: *She just like me for real!*
Daaaang algorithim has NOT shown me your stuff 😓 found you on subs tab, happy to ring the bell for next time.
Thanks for sharing this information have a marvelous day ❤
This is who Hamza talks about
I love the animation style of this! I can’t stop looking at Adonis here 💅💅💅✨✨✨
This reminds me of a story in the Bible where two women were fighting over a baby and to resolve the conflict a man said he would cut the child in two so they could both have it.
The man was Solomon, the last king of kingdom of Israel and Judah
King Solomon, he was very wise
Ah, Solomon.
He was testing the women. Eventually, he gave the baby back to the mother and then punish the woman who support his idea.
And the lady who also wanted the baby gave in and said she could have them.
Can you make a video on the mythology for Jeffry next?
LOL so many people can’t handle the idea that Persephone had an affair so they make up things like “But it wasn’t her fault, it was Eros’ arrow!” I don’t know where this video got that idea from, but it certainly didn’t get it from Greek mythology.
Im gonna trust the guy whose channel is all about mythology over the random guy in the comments.
they did miss the part where Aphrodite finds Adonis as a baby inside a tree and then entrustes him to Persephone. I've never heard the version where Aphrodite fell in love with him as an adult.
There's like 10 versions of every story it's not w big deal
💛 all your video's mate 👍.
WAIT a minute!! Persephone? As in Hades' WIFE Persephone?!? How did I never learn of THIS version?!? BTW Interesting Fact; it's been theorized that this is the origin of the Erymanthian Boar
The typical version is that Persephone serves as a mother figure to Adonis and Persephone as a lover. It’s similar to how Demeter and Persephone relationship was in which they only meet at certain times.
I like how ares gets revenge by just making both incredibly angry
Hamza's term "become Adonis" has a whole new meaning here I can see why a guy would want to
Hades: I apreciate the services Adonis!
Adonis: * i hope none of them realises that i sleep with him too* 😬
Nah, i'm joking, i wonder where did you get this version of the myth, i never hears this one before.
🤣😂🤣😂
😅😅 Would make sence.
Zeus had Ganymede.
Poseidon had Pelops and Nerites.
Why should Hades not have Adonis 🤔
It is said that ancient Greeks were gay so....
What a guy Adonis is to not only have 2 God's fighting over him but the fact that those God's are also mother and daughter.
😳
And technically as Aphrodite came from the sea foam of Ouranos's (Hades' grandfather) severed testicles, she is more like Persephone's great-aunt...so yeah, you're being fought over by your adopted mother and her grand aunt. A really, really, *REALLY* hot grand-aunt.
