    I hate how Hades is portrayed as evil in Hollywood movies. In reality, according to actual Greek mythology, Hades is actually a saint compared to his brothers.

    • @malahamavet
      @malahamavet 4 роки тому +287

      Yeah! Also, portraying him as Satan and having fire and stuff in the underworld makes it boring to me because that's Satan. They are two very distinct characters and portraying Hades as he really is is not just the right thing to do, is also way cooler and more interesting, he has his own flavour.

      Well according to me he is one of the best if not the best god in greek. For reasons like:-
      1. Equal to zues and posyden in power.
      2. Has 1 wife and hardly any record of cheating + half the yr remains with her mother.
      3. Richest god.
      4. Determined in his job.
      5. Dont deal with men.
      6. Didnt hold sny grudge against harcules for wound.
      7. He symbolyses fear and saintness together.

      To be fair he had to be because he arguably had the most important job, that is making sure the dead have a peaceful afterlife. You could fall victim in many ways to the whims and Zeus and Poseidon while alive but at least once you're dead you won't be treated badly, so long as you didn't deserve it.

      hungry joker That was *Mythic Warriors: Guardians of the Legend*, right?
      EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, it might have been Class of the Titans (not to be confused with the film of a similar name). But both shows did portray Hades as a more reasonable sort (aside from his voice in Class of the Titans sounding somewhat goofier than usual), so it counts either way.

    • @LittleMissRequiem
      @LittleMissRequiem 4 роки тому +5

      The Gray Ghost As much as the Death In Chains episode annoyed me somewhat*, I have to agree with you that at least they more or less got Hades right.
      *Mainly because the original myth of Sisyphus on which the episode was based had either Thanatos or Hades (depending on the version) as the one captured, whereas there was no Celesta in Greek mythology that I can recall (and even if she did exist, she wouldn’t have been Hades’ sister, as Hades’ only sisters were Hestia, Demeter, and Hera) and as far as I can tell she was only added into the episode to make the damsel in distress female. But I digress.

Naturally Zeus thought kidnapping was the best thing to do and ordered Hades to do it

    Hades has really been warped in our modern world. The Greeks seemed to look at him as a harsh but fair ruler. They also called him the Hospitable One because he always accepted new souls. Also in all of the stories involving him there is at least a version where he is fair. Like allowing Heracles to borrow Cerberus if he can earn the privilege by subduing him without harming the beast. He allows Orpheus to take his wife so long as he proves his honesty by not looking back.
    Hades gives you what you deserve in reward and punishment. The harshness being that he punishes without sympathy because you deserve it.

    Macaria was brought up in this video, but it’s worth bringing up Zagreus and Melinoë as well. Both were children of Persephone, although sources disagree on whether Hades or Zeus was their father. In general, later versions (e.g. the Orphic versions of Dionysus-Zagreus) said that Zeus was their father, whereas older versions (mostly from fragmented works) said that Hades was their father. Confusing matters even further is the fact that Hades was sometimes literally called the “Deep/Lower Zeus” or the “Zeus of the Underworld”, so even versions that seemingly named Zeus as the father could’ve actually been referring to Hades.

      *Melinoë* was the goddess of ghosts, in addition to nightmares and insanity,
      and *Zagreus* was the god of rebirth, and in some versions hunting as well. In fact, Zagreus and Hades are sometimes described as being one and the same.

    like 30 seconds in and you got something a little wrong. Hades was known in rome as Pluto because the ancient greeks referred to him as Pluton or Plutarch, to avoid saying his true name and drawing his attention to them.
