I love how Ares thought he stood a chance against Hades. Like dude, that is your uncle, the eldest son of the King of the Titans and Ruler of the Underworld, you frankly don't stand a chance here.
Eh he does tbh and even in mythology he stood up against like Poseidon (due to one of Poseidons sons r@ping Ares daughters) and got it away with it and didn’t even hesitate to do the act. It’s why this scene is kinda bothersome more since out of all the gods the one who didn’t have any fucking Sus allegations was ares and he was even known to be a defender of women.

But him trying to take on Hades, an elder god who fought Titans and giants alike...that smackdown from Hades and basically cratering him into the earth was awesome. On a sidenote, the music in this series is incredible.
*Fun fact:* In Greek Mythology, Ares never forced or attempted to force a woman to sleep with him. He was one of the only Gods who never did. In fact, he actually hated that more than anything. Also, it's hilarious to think that he actually thought he stood a chance against his Uncle Hades in this fight. The firstborn son of Titans Rhea and Cronus, eldest the three Supreme God Brothers and Lord of the Underworld.😂😂🤣🤣 He should be thankful that Persephone stepped in when she did, otherwise if she didn't, he'd be staying with his uncle in the Underworld for all of eternity.
Also, regarding the Greek mythology, Hades kidnapped Persephone to the Underworld, and he tricked her to eat the food from this place, to ties Persephone to this realm. In contrast to Blood of Zeus, in that Persephone accepted to be with Hades for her own volition, to the point of ate the food of the Underworld to prevent that Demeter could separates her from Hades.
@@josecuestas7246 Though there are earlier records of Persephone (and oddly Posidon) as rulers of the Underworld than there are of Hades. Persephone also seems to be more feared than Hades with her title of 'Dread Persephone'. Still she and Hades seemed to have one of the more functioning and healthy relationships in the greek pantheon.
@@gwilym1991 Interesting. Well, the Greek mythology has many versions. Like Asclepius, Apollo's son, in that in most of the versions, he was killed by Zeus for created the cure of death. But i also read that in some versions, it was Hades whom killed Asclepius.
its cool in a story PoV. but they have to nerf her so bad by picking the lamest power out of all versions of her myths just to make the scene of Hades saving Persephone. but TO BE FAIR her power was never clear since in the earliest text we found of her, she lotteraly hold authority over the dead as well just like Hades. reigns over ghosts and stuff as the queen of the underworld. the version of her being the goddess of fertility and growth came at later stories of her. heck FUN FACT, in the earliest version of her, HADES ISNT EVEN MENTIONED 😂 as if he doesnt even exist. some versions even implies that her and Hades are one entity which is even weirder.😅 her and hades’s story is so vague no scholar even agrees wether or not Hades actually cheated on her, or wether or not they have children.
@@TheKnightCrafter123 She's nerfed because she's facing the god of war, but she ended up disabling Ares with nature before they both end up killing each other with Hades.
That's the thing I don't like, Myth Ares would never take advantage of Persephone like that. He is the Protector of Mistreated Women, father of the Amazons, and grant equal rights to the women of Sparta. He would never do that to Persephone and he is one of the few Greek Gods who doesn't assault women. And other thing, Demeter would never take suitors for Persephone, she wanted her as Virgin Goddess to be protected and safe like Hestia.
@@ameyalissabarron1466 Honestly Ares seems to just have a limited role in Greek myths. He does represent the violence and bloodlust of war (as opposed to Athena, who represents its wisdom), and when he does appear he's depicted as a brash fool who gets his ass swiftly kicked. But yeah it's true he's never been depicted to assault women.
@@korsekil Though in those limited tellings of his story he usually defends women especially his daugthers. Dude almost went to war with Poseidon because one of his sons r one of Ares's daughters.
As much I do love this scene and how it shows the story of Hades and Persephone. I am bit disappointed that Ares tried to take advantage of Persephone when myth Ares is grudgingly against on harassment and assault on women. I mean Myth Ares is the Protector of Mistreated Women and father of the Amazons. He never assault women and he's one of the only Greek Gods who doesn't mess with mortals unless they provoke him. Seeing him trying to take advantage of Persephone is very uncharacteristic of Myth Ares I know
Agree, one of the most famous myths about Ares was how he kill th eman who abused his daughter. and he accept free judgment for that and was declared innocent, since he was taking action to avenge his daughter
Sorry but this is a load of headcanon with no proof. He's the father of Amazons, but he's no protector of women. Heck, he never protected a woman that wasn't his family. Other gods have. Also he has some myths where he has raped women.
@@kaneslives They always Think 'Underworld = Hell', Just look at Disney's Hercules and Wrath of the Titans or Clash of the Titan's, They Made Hades An Asshole and an Unnecessary Evil without Looking at the Source Material, They just think He's The Devil of Greek Mythology Just as How they think Anubis Is Evil Like the Devil But for Egyptians
Preach! Hade’s complete and total habitual character assasination in cinema as apposed to actual mythology is one of the bid reasons why I can’t watch the Greek god films of the modern day anymore. I’m sick and tired of seeing these mythological figures get watered down for viewer sake or worse!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t appreciate that they depicted Ares this way. Ya he is a dick but not THAT kind of dick. Thou I admit it is weirdly wholesome that he had armor made for her and fitting since he’s the god of war.
Yes specially since ares was specifically the patron defender of women who had been raped in grec mythology. I would have loved if they had made him just be the stoic guy. Like he didn’t take Hera side because he cared about their drama he took her side because Zeus broke the rules.
@@falconeshield apollo is ares isn’t. His daughter got raped by a son of Poseidon he killed him and got chained for it. Then there was a trial all women agreed that the kill was justified all men blamed him. Which is why he became the protector of women. He is surprisingly ok as a god. Peoples hated him because he was passion of over wisdom but he is closer to sun wukong in character than any other god. It’s just that grec hated impulse even if they were righteous that’s why he was hated. He might have changed after the Roman took over and made him the only actual god of war while Athena was just wisdom
Well, ironically, despite to be portrayed in most of the media like a villain, in the Greek Mythology, Hades is actually one of the most nice, fair and reasonable gods, in comparison with Zeus and Poseidon, whom are known for cheats constantly their wives, having a lot bastards sons in the process. While Hades is the only one among them, in be a truly faithful husband with Persephone. Adding that Hades also show a merciful side with the mortals, like when he showed pity by the grief of Orpheus for the death of his beloved nymph, making that Hades accept to return her soul, without any payment, favor or deal. Though that with the warning about that Orpheus shouldn't look behind him until leaves the Underworld, that sadly he didn't fulfill, costing his last chance to retrieves his wife. Nevertheless, this show that Hades is actually a misundestood god, as in the Greek Mythology isn't the villain that most of the media labels him.
My God(s) it's so nice to finally see a piece of fiction where Hades isn't outright a devil counterpart, but actually seems to be a cool guy trying to protect those he cares about
@@Scrubbletontheliger Hades is never straight up villain of any actual Greek Myth Closest thing he has ever done to evil is Kidnap Persephone and cheat on her with Minthe and those are only certain versions of certain stories-Mythology Guy

@@altair227 Ares was not present during the war against Titans. The giants are a different matter. If we are talking about Giants of the deep, yes, but the Giants battling was in their prime and Zeus did most of it anyways, and only Zeus, hades and posidon fought against Kronos
Why to give Hades W, they need to give my boy Ares Ls? Ares in Myth never sexual assaulted anyone. Also he killed the god who tried to rape one of his daughters. Like a Gigachad he is.
Greeks hated him because he was the symbol of unreasonable war and crimes that's why the Greeks always embarrassed ares in myths such as trojan war where he fled once someone hit him with an spear.
@@ofrund well Sparta is not known for anything good but warfare so I rather stick with Athens atleast they had some sort of art and literature and democracy
@@GleamGoddess That is a very simplistic view of the Ancient Greek world. And to be frank, wrong. Sparta also had arts and literature including a governing system that was similar to the Athenian Democracy. Also Athens didn't have Democracy for the majority of her history.
Indeed. No matter who they worshiped in life they all bow to Hades in death. On a side note that means he has access to the largest army due to the fact that any soldier ends up in his ranks after death.

@@PWNINSWAGMASTER but Hades would make Ares be frozen in place with his batman like voice And I'm saying it because Hades is basically ancient Greece version of batman
You can hate the fact that Ares of myth would never do this to a woman: he is many things, but he never would sexually assault a woman. That's why he's unmarried and most of his sexual relationships are with Aphrodite, who is willing to give (with Hephaestus' blessing after he taught them to NOT do it in HIS marriage bed: in other words, his house). Even the women he had beyond Aphrodite don't fear him unless he's on the battlefield, but never in the bed.
@@girl1213 I don’t hate the myths but you seem to be missing the point of an adaptation. They are not meant to replicate the original work. I mean how often is Hades portrayed to be evil and nefarious when his myths are the complete opposite? It’s refreshing seeing something different for once.
@@shyranhilaw4352 I know. It's just frustrating that Ares didn't get the same treatment. Yes, he is very much not a good guy because he is the literal manifestation of the ugly side of war, but he has a line which seems controversial to what we understand about Greek society when it comes to how to treat women, which is often not the greatest. There's reassurance in knowing that they feared a God who would unhesitatingly smite them if they raped because it means they *were* being held accountable for such nasty behavior. To see that taken away from him is the same as making Hades the bad guy simply because he's the Lord of Dead.
@@girl1213 I read a comic style Greek story a while ago (can’t think of the name) and Ares was actually my favorite Olympian in it. He was righteous and caring while Apollo (who I usually like) was depicted as a despicable manipulator. I can understand the frustration, but there’s going to be variations in these adaptations no matter what.
3 things I like about this scene: 1. They dropped the whole "Hades is evil" thing. In myth, he never was particularly bad. 2. They showed Hades as very powerful. He is the oldest of the three brothers (Poseidon, Zeus and Hades) and should be depicted as mighty. 3. They showd Ares as someone who likes a good fight. Although I don't like Ares forcing himself on Persephone. I can not recall him ever trying to force himself on someone like this.
Why did they make Ares so dirty in a bad way?He never forced himself on women or goddesses.In the myth Demeter (knowing the nature of the gods) wanted her daughter to remain a virgin goddess like Hestia, Athena and Artemis. It is Aphrodite who had enough of virgin goddesses and made Hades to fall in love.
???? No, no where in the original myth does it say Demeter wanted Persephone to remain a virgin. Persephone was abducted by Hades so Demeter does everything in her power to find her and bring her back even forcing the whole world into winter.
@@islasullivan3463 in the wrtings of the poet Ovidiu it is written that she grew to love him...but many disaprove his writings when the poet is putting Aphrodite in a good light...so Persephone wasn't married when she was abducted and Demeter was a overprotective mother...this is a good hint and knowing the nature of the gods.
Whether she grew to love him or not doesn’t change that he abducted her, unless you’re suggesting that Demeter shouldn’t have cared that her daughter was taken and not looked for her or try to ensure that she was safe.
@@islasullivan3463 I am against the abduction. And I heard from a teacher specialized in Greek and Latin cultures that there is no evidence that Persephone loved Hades. The Metamorphosis of Ovidiu was written by a poet with the passion and love in his heart, that's why Aphrodite is seen in a positive way. But all the Latin writings are inspired from the Greek mythology.
@@marian1000brb "Demeter was a overprotective mother" but she wasn't really though? how is it "overprotective" to go after a child that's been kidnapped?? stop getting your Greek Mythology from Lore Olympus lol
Thing is, Persephone was NOT a goddess of nature: that is a relatively modern retcon. In all of the old myths, she is Dread Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. In fact, she is typically given prominence over her husband in iconography and is shown in front of Hades, the more important of the two. This seems to have been due to Hades ruling the land of the dead, but Persephone being the one who decided where you would stay, so keeping her happy was key to a good afterlife. That was the whole point of her cult at Eleusis: to get on the Dread Lady's good side.
One needs to be careful when making sweeping statements about Greek mythos, especially when each Greek state had their own myths. However, in most cases, Persophone was not the more prominent, but the more feared. The reason being she had a terrible temper (see the story of Mynth), and could easily sway Hades to violence (See Pirithous) or benevolence (see Orpheus). She was one of the few things Hades cared about, and he was largely dispassionate about anything else except his job, dog(s), and horses. The three judges decided your quality (sometimes your fate) but Hades sat above them, and could condemn or forgive, he just usually didn't care to, because again, he didn't meddle in most mortal affairs. So the times he did was usually when Persophone requested it of him. Why? Because Hades was one of the few examples of a good spouse. So much so that pottery featuring Hades and Persophone were common gifts at weddings. Sadly, modern writers see fit to make them have an abusive, or unwanted, or strained relationship, when at the end of the day, Persophone was one of the few things that made Hades happy, in a pantheon full of infidelity, scheming, and betrayal. To not even get into the worst things done by Poseidon and Zeus to their own family members.
"that is a relatively modern retcon" no it isn't, don't be ignorant. The Greeks DID have her as their Spring Goddess for a very long time. Yes, more older myths had her as the Queen of the Underworld without Hades, but not all of Greek saw her like that. Myths and stories of a society as large as Greece is DO change it's annoying having people like you that don't know anything about Greek history spout out "facts" that aren't "facts" at all, and put down the nuance of Greek culture just because you want to appear intelligent
if you're going to ignorantly proclaim that only the older version of the Greek Myths count, then DON'T call Poseidon the God of the seas. Otherwise, you'd be a hypocrite In all of the "old myths" he was God of the Underworld "Poseidon was the chief deity at Pylos and Thebes. He is identified with Anax and he carried the title "Master of the Underworld". Anax had probably a cult associated with the protection of the palace. In Acrocorinth he was worshipped as Poseidon Anax during the Mycenean age."
"Plutarch (scholar and priest at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi) writes that Persephone was identified with the spring season, and Cicero calls her the seed of the fruits of the fields. In the Eleusinian Mysteries, her return from the underworld each spring is a symbol of immortality, and she was frequently represented on sarcophagi. In the religions of the Orphics and the Platonists, Kore is described as the all-pervading goddess of nature who both produces and destroys everything, and she is therefore mentioned along with or identified as other such divinities including Isis, Rhea, Ge, Hestia, Pandora, Artemis, and Hecate. In Orphic tradition, Persephone is said to be the daughter of Zeus and his mother Rhea, who became Demeter after her seduction by her son"
Oddly enough hades is one of the most reasonable of the gods in myth some interpretation with Persephone are hard to pinpoint but most myths he very not a jerk unlike most of the gods
in some myths Persephone was the dangerous one in the underworld as hades was fair where as Persephone only having some power from her mother gained more from being the queen of the dead than a child of the goddess of agriculture
Being alone often gives you clarity and a new perspective on things. While everyone else squabbles and backstabs one another Hades stood from a vantage point where others perspective of him failed to matter. Being the outcast its very easy to just blame him for everything becsuse he no longer cares to combat those allegations
Id like to remind everyone that Ares has a record of absolutely slaughtering SA abusers. I get they want him to be this evil pos. But comeone have some respect for the Halirrhothius murder story.
@@l_t3t3_l Yeah. In most of fiction, Hades is always treated like a villain, despite to that actually in the Greek Mythology, Hades is one of the most nice, fair and reasonables gods from their pantheon. Making ironic that Hades be labeled like a bad guy in the fiction. In contrast, some gods like Athena, Apollo, or sometimes Zeus, are labeled by the fiction like "fair and selfless" gods, despite to have notables flaws and commited many issues to their world and mortals.
Only thing is I don't think even Ares depicted at his worst would have tried to assault Persephone like that which is ironic since he's supposed to embody the worst parts of War.
In fact, rape is one of the worst parts of war. When a city falls, soldiers seize not only the plundered goods but also the women of the defeated. The Soviet invasion of Nazi Germany and the Bosnian War are some examples of this idea in the 20th century.
Kratos:Go! Tell her. But first you will get to Lord Hades and Lady Persephone, and you will fall on your knees and tell them how very sorry you are, that you are at their service and that all your prayers are with them. *Do you understand?* 😅
Ares is an idiot. This is one of the Big Three and the God of the Underworld. Ares, you know where all those victims your wars create go to to the Underworld, right? That means you might be the God of War, but you fuel Hades, who survived being EATEN by your grandfather and later joined your father in bringing down the Titans and Giants. You are no match for him.
Not to mention that all those warriors that worship Ares are now Hades' when they die, meaning that Ares is directly responsible for creating the armies of the dead
Hades: "Boi, do you know who I am? I am not simply the god of death. I am the king of the Underworld; a realm containing countless souls. I am the watcher of Tartarus; where the most darkest and foul creatures in existence are caged under my constant watch. I am the lord over gods and goddesses who's domains would drive even the most sane scholars mad. I am the one who death himself bows to. And you, a silly little boi with a silly little sword who revels in silly little fights thinks he can dare touch my wife? But, as I'm such a generous God I'll offer you this gift: what would you like for me to tell your father were your last words?"
@@thisisnotmynam he was the only one who never did, you can look into this yourself. He was actually regarded as a protector of women. The only thing he ever did in terms of relations was have a bunch of affairs but compared to all the other gods, never forced himself on anyone
@@skylersd no. I've looked into plenty of Ares' myths. That's why I know he has sexually assaulted women. There's literally no source for him being the protector of women. It's just headcanons you find on poorly researched Tumblr posts. I suggest you do better research.
with many of the olympians being children of the titans most pairs are either sisters or cousins, even zeus and hera though i do not remember which. it is rather common in some mythologies nor is it limited to the gods.
In the Bible Sarah was Abraham's half-sister. To be crowned, Egyptian pharaohs had to first marry one of their sisters.In many places in the ancient world you could marry your sister if they had different mothers.Marrying an uncle was relatively permitted even in the Middle Ages.And marriage between first cousins was normal and even desirable until recently. If you read Wuthering Heights you will notice that one of the protagonists married her two first cousins.
Not really Aphrodite doesn't hold Ares to that standard. Hephaestus had made a boundary with her, which boils down to "don't bring your lovers into MY house or MY bed" but Aphrodite has no such qualms for her lovers.
I find it funny how people are upset about Ares being a creep, when 1. He cheats on his brother with his wife all the time 2. Depending one mythos and whether its Greek/Roman, he does assault several women or under false pretenses. And considering he is usually the god of warfare, and with warfare soldiers commit pilaging and rape, it's not too surprising. I will say another comment made a good point that the other gods were also affected with more negative stories about hurting/assaulting people where Ares was as well. So it can also be attributed to culture and the storyteller who is depicting the god they way they see fit.
Where in any of the mythology does it say anything about him taking part in any pillaging or raping? He always got the short end of the stick for being a hothead. Just like most media like portraying Hades pretty much as Greek Satan. Ares is passionate but he’s not a monster. He murdered one of Poseidon’s sons for raping his daughter and that was one of the few times the Olympians were on his side. He also arrested a man for trying to force himself on Hera. As for the affair with Aphrodite, yeah it was unfaithful to Hespheteus but she was the one who approached Ares. And she never wanted to marry Hespheteus in the first place.
@@LewilddesiAres passion is war and violence Athena represents the intellectual and civilized side of war and the virtues of justice and skill, whereas Ares represents blood lust. So Ares is a monster seeing how he always craved warfare. Also in warfare it was common practice to rape women and massacre civilians and since Ares represents bloodlust then it is implied he encourages it.
@@Lewilddesi No what? You love war or something? I don't see how a God who's passion is war and violence is a good God and should be represented as a hero in this show.
Persephone could have handled Ares on her own! Persephone and Hades are two of the strongest gods in this pantheon. I hate how they belittle the power of the goddesses against the male gods just because they are female. Also, Hades could take out Ares easy.
"Leave or there will be bloodshed", warns the experienced Hades. "I choose bloodshed", replied the brash Ares. Little did Ares know that Hades never said that the blood of the King of the Underworld would be shed...
Let's be clear. Hades vs Ares isn't a fight. More accurate fight would be Hades vs Poseidon where Hades effortlessly defeats Poseidon. It is heavily implied that Hades can take out both Zeus and Poseidon in 2v1 if it came to blows. They gave Hades the underworld because it was the hardest job. The said, Hades is extremely chill. There are very few stories about him. For the most part, he does his job and doesn't complain. So it is pretty clear the writers wanted a reason to have him flex. One of Hades notible traits is that he treats Persephone as an equal. He never cheats on her. In the origin story Hades asked Zeus what he should do about Persephone. Zeus said, "you should kidnap her". The entire point of the story of Hades and Persphone is that he considers her an equal partner, which is unheard of in relationships of the Gods. The funny part is that Zeus keeps telling Hades he could do better and doesn't understand why he is loyal to her. One thing they got correct, Demeter is the absolute worst.
@@thewhitewolf6715 Hades is most likely more powerful than Zeus, due to the fact that he can cause death even to God's and mortals alike. And yes Zeus and the other gods all agreed that in despite their disputes and egos, that they do not pick a fight with Hades.
@@ΣοφοκληςΒλαχόπουλος-ι9ν You got that backwards. Hades (oldest) > Poseidon (2nd oldest) > Zeus (Youngest). Keep in mind, Cronus couldn't kill Hades or Poseidon, he ate them so they couldn't challenge him. They hid Zeus and trained him so that he could fight his father. The story goes that Zeus and Poseidon chose their domain first, so Hades got what was left. From a power level it is hinted that Zeus and Poseidon are around the same power level. In one of the stories, someone asks why doesn't Zeus pull his children from the Underworld if he loves them so much. Zeus's respond is that in a fight he would lose to Hades.
@Justin-sj5of Zeus wasn't eaten. The other were eaten and that makes and spew out backwards and that makes them younger according to the ancient Greeks. Poseidon says that in the Illiad. And Zeus is by far the strongest of all
No matter how different Hades & Persephone's story of how they fell in love, it's always so beautiful & touching to the heart. Also that's a king for you ready to protect his future queen.
Ares being shown as a creep is weird af considered in none of the reiteration of the mythology was he ever shown cruel to a woman. If there was a male Greek god respected and defended women, it was Ares. Hollyweird misunderstand that character so much, and its really disappointing that we never get a good ecranisation for the character
I keep seeing people say ‘oh but it’s implied he’s drunk’. If anything that makes this scene WORSE. You don’t become a different person when you’re drunk you become a person who does what they want because they lost the ability to restrain themselves.

That is not true in Greek religion, Ares was NEVER worshiped as a god who defended women, and had no problem sexually assaulting them or cruelly punishing them.
And in the original mythology, Hades kidnapped Persephone, and tricked her in eat the food of the Underworld to makes her return. Unlike in Blood of Zeus, in that Persephone went with Hades for her own will, and she also ate the food of the Underworld, even after that Hades warned her about it, only to not be separated from him by Demeter.
I think Ares will have a character arc in the third season. He will start off immature but grows to become wise and pragmatic as he is in Greek Mythology. Plus, this event might be before he sired the Queen of the Amazons, respected women, and dated Aphrodite (to Hephaestus' chagrin).
I love how Ares thought he stood a chance against Hades. Like dude, that is your uncle, the eldest son of the King of the Titans and Ruler of the Underworld, you frankly don't stand a chance here.

I find it cool seeing Persephone’s powers and it’s nice seeing hades as a stand up dude
its cool in a story PoV.
but they have to nerf her so bad by picking the lamest power out of all versions of her myths just to make the scene of Hades saving Persephone. but TO BE FAIR her power was never clear since in the earliest text we found of her, she lotteraly hold authority over the dead as well just like Hades. reigns over ghosts and stuff as the queen of the underworld.
the version of her being the goddess of fertility and growth came at later stories of her. heck FUN FACT, in the earliest version of her, HADES ISNT EVEN MENTIONED 😂 as if he doesnt even exist. some versions even implies that her and Hades are one entity which is even weirder.😅 her and hades’s story is so vague no scholar even agrees wether or not Hades actually cheated on her, or wether or not they have children.
@@TheKnightCrafter123 She's nerfed because she's facing the god of war, but she ended up disabling Ares with nature before they both end up killing each other with Hades.
Ares should consider himself lucky that he’s still breathing after trying to take advantage of Persephone
That's the thing I don't like, Myth Ares would never take advantage of Persephone like that. He is the Protector of Mistreated Women, father of the Amazons, and grant equal rights to the women of Sparta. He would never do that to Persephone and he is one of the few Greek Gods who doesn't assault women. And other thing, Demeter would never take suitors for Persephone, she wanted her as Virgin Goddess to be protected and safe like Hestia.
@@ameyalissabarron1466 that is so true Ares was literally the only god who never mistreated woman or his prayers
@@ameyalissabarron1466 Honestly Ares seems to just have a limited role in Greek myths. He does represent the violence and bloodlust of war (as opposed to Athena, who represents its wisdom), and when he does appear he's depicted as a brash fool who gets his ass swiftly kicked. But yeah it's true he's never been depicted to assault women.
@@ameyalissabarron1466 you are correct. Ares don't do this things
@@korsekil Though in those limited tellings of his story he usually defends women especially his daugthers. Dude almost went to war with Poseidon because one of his sons r one of Ares's daughters.
As much I do love this scene and how it shows the story of Hades and Persephone. I am bit disappointed that Ares tried to take advantage of Persephone when myth Ares is grudgingly against on harassment and assault on women. I mean Myth Ares is the Protector of Mistreated Women and father of the Amazons. He never assault women and he's one of the only Greek Gods who doesn't mess with mortals unless they provoke him. Seeing him trying to take advantage of Persephone is very uncharacteristic of Myth Ares I know
Agree, one of the most famous myths about Ares was how he kill th eman who abused his daughter. and he accept free judgment for that and was declared innocent, since he was taking action to avenge his daughter
so true Ares as much as he likes warfare is truly honorable
True, No man would father and protect an army of female warrior if he himself didn't love and respect women.
Well it’s stated that he’s drunk right now probably because of his jealousy
Sorry but this is a load of headcanon with no proof. He's the father of Amazons, but he's no protector of women. Heck, he never protected a woman that wasn't his family. Other gods have. Also he has some myths where he has raped women.
My Boy, Hades is One Lucky God and the Most Sane of them all....Shame Hollywood made Him Think He's The Equal to Satan.
Equal to? Sounds like an insult since Satan is a wretched traitor whilst Hades stays true to his role.

Peoples hated him because he was passion of over wisdom but he is closer to sun wukong in character than any other god.

@@falconeshieldares isn’t

Zeus, unfaithful husband who abuses women
Hades, loving husband who protects his wife and will always love her no matter what
Well, ironically, despite to be portrayed in most of the media like a villain, in the Greek Mythology, Hades is actually one of the most nice, fair and reasonable gods, in comparison with Zeus and Poseidon, whom are known for cheats constantly their wives, having a lot bastards sons in the process.
While Hades is the only one among them, in be a truly faithful husband with Persephone. Adding that Hades also show a merciful side with the mortals, like when he showed pity by the grief of Orpheus for the death of his beloved nymph, making that Hades accept to return her soul, without any payment, favor or deal. Though that with the warning about that Orpheus shouldn't look behind him until leaves the Underworld, that sadly he didn't fulfill, costing his last chance to retrieves his wife.
Nevertheless, this show that Hades is actually a misundestood god, as in the Greek Mythology isn't the villain that most of the media labels him.

You do know that Ares is also took part against the giants and his war basically. But yes Hades would smack him around but he still put up a fight.
@@altair227 Ares was not present during the war against Titans. The giants are a different matter. If we are talking about Giants of the deep, yes, but the Giants battling was in their prime and Zeus did most of it anyways, and only Zeus, hades and posidon fought against Kronos
Also Hades is ancient greek batman so he technically also has prep time
Why to give Hades W, they need to give my boy Ares Ls?
Ares in Myth never sexual assaulted anyone. Also he killed the god who tried to rape one of his daughters. Like a Gigachad he is.
Greeks hated him because he was the symbol of unreasonable war and crimes that's why the Greeks always embarrassed ares in myths such as trojan war where he fled once someone hit him with an spear.
@@GleamGoddess No my dude, Athenians hated Ares because he was the Patron God of Sparta, their rival, as well as a rival to Athena.
@@ofrund well Sparta is not known for anything good but warfare so I rather stick with Athens atleast they had some sort of art and literature and democracy

Sparta also had arts and literature including a governing system that was similar to the Athenian Democracy.
Also Athens didn't have Democracy for the majority of her history.

I love that Ares automatically makes enemies with the character that looks like Kratos
Zues maybe the King of Gods. Ruled the Heaven beyond Olympus. But don't forget Hades is the eldest between Big Three and ruled the other half of life.

@@PWNINSWAGMASTER but Hades would make Ares be frozen in place with his batman like voice

This series can never make me hate Hades. He’s not the villain and never was.
You can hate the fact that Ares of myth would never do this to a woman: he is many things, but he never would sexually assault a woman. That's why he's unmarried and most of his sexual relationships are with Aphrodite, who is willing to give (with Hephaestus' blessing after he taught them to NOT do it in HIS marriage bed: in other words, his house). Even the women he had beyond Aphrodite don't fear him unless he's on the battlefield, but never in the bed.
@@girl1213 I don’t hate the myths but you seem to be missing the point of an adaptation. They are not meant to replicate the original work. I mean how often is Hades portrayed to be evil and nefarious when his myths are the complete opposite? It’s refreshing seeing something different for once.
@@shyranhilaw4352 I know. It's just frustrating that Ares didn't get the same treatment. Yes, he is very much not a good guy because he is the literal manifestation of the ugly side of war, but he has a line which seems controversial to what we understand about Greek society when it comes to how to treat women, which is often not the greatest.
There's reassurance in knowing that they feared a God who would unhesitatingly smite them if they raped because it means they *were* being held accountable for such nasty behavior.
To see that taken away from him is the same as making Hades the bad guy simply because he's the Lord of Dead.
@@girl1213 I read a comic style Greek story a while ago (can’t think of the name) and Ares was actually my favorite Olympian in it. He was righteous and caring while Apollo (who I usually like) was depicted as a despicable manipulator. I can understand the frustration, but there’s going to be variations in these adaptations no matter what.
@@shyranhilaw4352 Not always easy to swallow, but you're right.
3 things I like about this scene:
1. They dropped the whole "Hades is evil" thing. In myth, he never was particularly bad.
2. They showed Hades as very powerful. He is the oldest of the three brothers (Poseidon, Zeus and Hades) and should be depicted as mighty.
3. They showd Ares as someone who likes a good fight.
Although I don't like Ares forcing himself on Persephone. I can not recall him ever trying to force himself on someone like this.
he never did he was one of the few gods that didnt rape people
Why did they make Ares so dirty in a bad way?He never forced himself on women or goddesses.In the myth Demeter (knowing the nature of the gods) wanted her daughter to remain a virgin goddess like Hestia, Athena and Artemis. It is Aphrodite who had enough of virgin goddesses and made Hades to fall in love.
???? No, no where in the original myth does it say Demeter wanted Persephone to remain a virgin. Persephone was abducted by Hades so Demeter does everything in her power to find her and bring her back even forcing the whole world into winter.
@@islasullivan3463 in the wrtings of the poet Ovidiu it is written that she grew to love him...but many disaprove his writings when the poet is putting Aphrodite in a good light...so
Persephone wasn't married when she was abducted and Demeter was a overprotective mother...this is a good hint and knowing the nature of the gods.
Whether she grew to love him or not doesn’t change that he abducted her, unless you’re suggesting that Demeter shouldn’t have cared that her daughter was taken and not looked for her or try to ensure that she was safe.
@@islasullivan3463 I am against the abduction. And I heard from a teacher specialized in Greek and Latin cultures that there is no evidence that Persephone loved Hades. The Metamorphosis of Ovidiu was written by a poet with the passion and love in his heart, that's why Aphrodite is seen in a positive way. But all the Latin writings are inspired from the Greek mythology.
@@marian1000brb "Demeter was a overprotective mother"
but she wasn't really though? how is it "overprotective" to go after a child that's been kidnapped??
stop getting your Greek Mythology from Lore Olympus lol
Finally... canon Hades!
Unfortunately, we got a non-canon Ares…
Hades is in truly love with Persephone❤😊
He cares for her and loves her so very much like she is the truly love of his life to never be alone again when he has a goddess of nature with him
Thing is, Persephone was NOT a goddess of nature: that is a relatively modern retcon. In all of the old myths, she is Dread Persephone, Queen of the Underworld. In fact, she is typically given prominence over her husband in iconography and is shown in front of Hades, the more important of the two. This seems to have been due to Hades ruling the land of the dead, but Persephone being the one who decided where you would stay, so keeping her happy was key to a good afterlife. That was the whole point of her cult at Eleusis: to get on the Dread Lady's good side.
One needs to be careful when making sweeping statements about Greek mythos, especially when each Greek state had their own myths. However, in most cases, Persophone was not the more prominent, but the more feared. The reason being she had a terrible temper (see the story of Mynth), and could easily sway Hades to violence (See Pirithous) or benevolence (see Orpheus). She was one of the few things Hades cared about, and he was largely dispassionate about anything else except his job, dog(s), and horses. The three judges decided your quality (sometimes your fate) but Hades sat above them, and could condemn or forgive, he just usually didn't care to, because again, he didn't meddle in most mortal affairs. So the times he did was usually when Persophone requested it of him. Why? Because Hades was one of the few examples of a good spouse. So much so that pottery featuring Hades and Persophone were common gifts at weddings.
Sadly, modern writers see fit to make them have an abusive, or unwanted, or strained relationship, when at the end of the day, Persophone was one of the few things that made Hades happy, in a pantheon full of infidelity, scheming, and betrayal. To not even get into the worst things done by Poseidon and Zeus to their own family members.
"that is a relatively modern retcon"
no it isn't, don't be ignorant.
The Greeks DID have her as their Spring Goddess for a very long time. Yes, more older myths had her as the Queen of the Underworld without Hades, but not all of Greek saw her like that. Myths and stories of a society as large as Greece is DO change
it's annoying having people like you that don't know anything about Greek history spout out "facts" that aren't "facts" at all, and put down the nuance of Greek culture just because you want to appear intelligent
if you're going to ignorantly proclaim that only the older version of the Greek Myths count, then DON'T call Poseidon the God of the seas. Otherwise, you'd be a hypocrite
In all of the "old myths" he was God of the Underworld
"Poseidon was the chief deity at Pylos and Thebes. He is identified with Anax and he carried the title "Master of the Underworld". Anax had probably a cult associated with the protection of the palace. In Acrocorinth he was worshipped as Poseidon Anax during the Mycenean age."
"Plutarch (scholar and priest at the Temple of Apollo in Delphi) writes that Persephone was identified with the spring season, and Cicero calls her the seed of the fruits of the fields. In the Eleusinian Mysteries, her return from the underworld each spring is a symbol of immortality, and she was frequently represented on sarcophagi.
In the religions of the Orphics and the Platonists, Kore is described as the all-pervading goddess of nature who both produces and destroys everything, and she is therefore mentioned along with or identified as other such divinities including Isis, Rhea, Ge, Hestia, Pandora, Artemis, and Hecate. In Orphic tradition, Persephone is said to be the daughter of Zeus and his mother Rhea, who became Demeter after her seduction by her son"
sorry to be harsh, because the entire comment section is getting on my nerves, but please educate yourself
Oddly enough hades is one of the most reasonable of the gods in myth some interpretation with Persephone are hard to pinpoint but most myths he very not a jerk unlike most of the gods
in some myths Persephone was the dangerous one in the underworld as hades was fair where as Persephone only having some power from her mother gained more from being the queen of the dead than a child of the goddess of agriculture
Being alone often gives you clarity and a new perspective on things. While everyone else squabbles and backstabs one another Hades stood from a vantage point where others perspective of him failed to matter.
Being the outcast its very easy to just blame him for everything becsuse he no longer cares to combat those allegations
I love the design of ares. He looks like he should be in the marines.
Id like to remind everyone that Ares has a record of absolutely slaughtering SA abusers. I get they want him to be this evil pos. But comeone have some respect for the Halirrhothius murder story.
Ironic how Ares is afraid of Zeus but he'll fight Hades; someone who even Zeus is cautious of.
Persephone: Belle
Hades: Beast
Ares: Gaston
Well, when you put it like that…it’s pretty accurate

Only thing is I don't think even Ares depicted at his worst would have tried to assault Persephone like that which is ironic since he's supposed to embody the worst parts of War.
Not really
In fact, rape is one of the worst parts of war. When a city falls, soldiers seize not only the plundered goods but also the women of the defeated. The Soviet invasion of Nazi Germany and the Bosnian War are some examples of this idea in the 20th century.
Ares got his ass kicked by his Uncle Hades & Persephone
Ares: My mother will hear about this.
Kratos:Go! Tell her. But first you will get to Lord Hades and Lady Persephone, and you will fall on your knees and tell them how very sorry you are, that you are at their service and that all your prayers are with them. *Do you understand?* 😅
Ares is an idiot. This is one of the Big Three and the God of the Underworld. Ares, you know where all those victims your wars create go to to the Underworld, right? That means you might be the God of War, but you fuel Hades, who survived being EATEN by your grandfather and later joined your father in bringing down the Titans and Giants. You are no match for him.
Not to mention that all those warriors that worship Ares are now Hades' when they die, meaning that Ares is directly responsible for creating the armies of the dead
Finally and accurate depiction of Hades.
Ares: How dare my uncle steal my sister from me?!?
Hades: "Boi, do you know who I am? I am not simply the god of death. I am the king of the Underworld; a realm containing countless souls. I am the watcher of Tartarus; where the most darkest and foul creatures in existence are caged under my constant watch. I am the lord over gods and goddesses who's domains would drive even the most sane scholars mad. I am the one who death himself bows to. And you, a silly little boi with a silly little sword who revels in silly little fights thinks he can dare touch my wife? But, as I'm such a generous God I'll offer you this gift: what would you like for me to tell your father were your last words?"
Ares: I choose bloodshed
Hades: Time to school this whelp on why I'm part of the Big Three
Ares according to mythology never took advantage of a woman
Bro why did Persephone stop the ass whopping Hades was gonna give him, I wanted Hades to badly mop the floor with him. 😂

Well, in that case, this is a karma, for cheated her husband Hephaestus, making Aphrodite no better than her lover Ares.
Not really
Aphrodite doesn't hold Ares to that standard.
Hephaestus had made a boundary with her, which boils down to "don't bring your lovers into MY house or MY bed" but Aphrodite has no such qualms for her lovers.
I find it funny how people are upset about Ares being a creep, when 1. He cheats on his brother with his wife all the time 2. Depending one mythos and whether its Greek/Roman, he does assault several women or under false pretenses. And considering he is usually the god of warfare, and with warfare soldiers commit pilaging and rape, it's not too surprising. I will say another comment made a good point that the other gods were also affected with more negative stories about hurting/assaulting people where Ares was as well. So it can also be attributed to culture and the storyteller who is depicting the god they way they see fit.
He cheats on his brother with his wife? That’s a weird way to phrase it lol, he’s in an affair with his brother’s wife
Where in any of the mythology does it say anything about him taking part in any pillaging or raping? He always got the short end of the stick for being a hothead. Just like most media like portraying Hades pretty much as Greek Satan. Ares is passionate but he’s not a monster. He murdered one of Poseidon’s sons for raping his daughter and that was one of the few times the Olympians were on his side. He also arrested a man for trying to force himself on Hera. As for the affair with Aphrodite, yeah it was unfaithful to Hespheteus but she was the one who approached Ares. And she never wanted to marry Hespheteus in the first place.
@@LewilddesiAres passion is war and violence Athena represents the intellectual and civilized side of war and the virtues of justice and skill, whereas Ares represents blood lust.

Hades here teleported slam dunk his nephew lol
Hades is a far better husband and god than Zeus.
"Leave or there will be bloodshed", warns the experienced Hades. "I choose bloodshed", replied the brash Ares. Little did Ares know that Hades never said that the blood of the King of the Underworld would be shed...
Let's be clear. Hades vs Ares isn't a fight. More accurate fight would be Hades vs Poseidon where Hades effortlessly defeats Poseidon. It is heavily implied that Hades can take out both Zeus and Poseidon in 2v1 if it came to blows. They gave Hades the underworld because it was the hardest job. The said, Hades is extremely chill. There are very few stories about him. For the most part, he does his job and doesn't complain. So it is pretty clear the writers wanted a reason to have him flex. One of Hades notible traits is that he treats Persephone as an equal. He never cheats on her. In the origin story Hades asked Zeus what he should do about Persephone. Zeus said, "you should kidnap her". The entire point of the story of Hades and Persphone is that he considers her an equal partner, which is unheard of in relationships of the Gods. The funny part is that Zeus keeps telling Hades he could do better and doesn't understand why he is loyal to her. One thing they got correct, Demeter is the absolute worst.
I always wondered if Hades was more powerful than Zeus. I read that even Zeus didn’t dare cross Hades.
@@thewhitewolf6715
Hades is most likely more powerful than Zeus, due to the fact that he can cause death even to God's and mortals alike.
And yes Zeus and the other gods all agreed that in despite their disputes and egos, that they do not pick a fight with Hades.
No. Zeus> Poseidon> Hades
@@ΣοφοκληςΒλαχόπουλος-ι9ν You got that backwards. Hades (oldest) > Poseidon (2nd oldest) > Zeus (Youngest). Keep in mind, Cronus couldn't kill Hades or Poseidon, he ate them so they couldn't challenge him. They hid Zeus and trained him so that he could fight his father. The story goes that Zeus and Poseidon chose their domain first, so Hades got what was left. From a power level it is hinted that Zeus and Poseidon are around the same power level. In one of the stories, someone asks why doesn't Zeus pull his children from the Underworld if he loves them so much. Zeus's respond is that in a fight he would lose to Hades.
@Justin-sj5of Zeus wasn't eaten. The other were eaten and that makes and spew out backwards and that makes them younger according to the ancient Greeks. Poseidon says that in the Illiad. And Zeus is by far the strongest of all
No matter how different Hades & Persephone's story of how they fell in love, it's always so beautiful & touching to the heart. Also that's a king for you ready to protect his future queen.
Dude thought he could throw hands with Hades and win 😂
1:08 WTf was the plan he was going to bash her head in for rejecting him ? 😂😂😂
Ares being shown as a creep is weird af considered in none of the reiteration of the mythology was he ever shown cruel to a woman. If there was a male Greek god respected and defended women, it was Ares. Hollyweird misunderstand that character so much, and its really disappointing that we never get a good ecranisation for the character
He can be a jerk, but he can have boundaries
Ares got that ass tapped 😂
Another thing i dont understand why it seems as if Ares doesn’t know that Hades is his uncle and doesn’t know how to respect his elders😂
The definition of “you don’t want this fight young man,”
Persephone makes me think in Aerith Gainsborough.
I keep seeing people say ‘oh but it’s implied he’s drunk’. If anything that makes this scene WORSE.
You don’t become a different person when you’re drunk you become a person who does what they want because they lost the ability to restrain themselves.
They are kinda doing Ares dirty here in the myths he never did shit like this like his father or any brothers like apollo who did shit like this heck he and hades even had a very good understanding hades offtern lend him the heroes of elysium to fight with on the battlefield
Now THIS is the way Hades should be portrayed.
I would very much like Hades to explore my underworld 😍🥵
😂
Ares hair in this scene is soooo goooodddd
I think the low-cut fade fits him better.
Their kiss brought a tear to my eye
Hades + Persephone
🖤4EVER🤍
“ Let that be a lesson folks-don't try and kidnap the Queen of the Underworld when her mild-mannered husband is within earshot. Or maybe, just to be safe, don't mess with Hades. Period. „
~ Red on Hades.
I've wanted to know. What is Red on Hades?
@@vaishnavigopinath8643 overly sarcastic productions where the content creators are named Red and Blue. Red covers a few myth stories one of which being about the time Theseus (the guy who killed the minotaur) and his buddy went to the underworld to try and kidnap Persephone which led to the quote above.
I recommend watching it. They have a very nice art style
@@awsomeanubite8722 wow! Could you please send me the link?
Of course out of all the minor gods of Olympus, Ares would be bold enough or dumb enough to think he’s a match for the third most powerful god in the Greek Pantheon, that’s what he gets for being the angriest person alive.
I always though the gods such as Zeus, Hera , Etc, were more powerful than their kids such as Athena, Apolla, etc
athena is special but other than her thats true
@@zyx12345abc greek myth wise Apollo was able to match Poseidon and other sea gods in battle
@@durrangodsgrief6503 no when Poseidon challenged him he feared him and did not fight
This happens in the illiad
"Leave, or there will be bloodshed"
"Show me a good time, Ades!"
They did ares dirty cause one of the big thing about ares is that he is the protector of women. especially against forced sexual assault (he killed another god cause of it)
What god
@@skeechymeechy5896 Halirrhothios he was considered a lesser god and he thought he was big and bad cause he’s father was Poseidon and he tried to rape a daughter of ares so ares killed him
@@skeechymeechy5896 some believe that Halirrhothios was a demigod and some believed he was a lesser god
" protector of women"
no he isn't. he only protected his daughters from rape. any father would do that, because their daughter is their own flesh and blood. doesn't mean that he will treat all women with the same respect
He DOES coerce women into sleeping with him
stop copy and pasting your Greek Mythology from the UA-cam comment section :)
I'd really like to see a Norse version of this
Imagine blood of Odin.
It'd be lit
I was beginning to think this series was abandoned.
Thank God it wasn't!
Ares vs Hades ~ Baldur vs old man Kratos
Finally a show that portrays the love and equal respect they shared even when the other Gods couldn't understand.
Fuck this. Why'd Ares character have to get sacrificed to make THEM look good. Their love story is already fucked up. Idc how many modern versions there are. Hades kidnapped Persephone
Hades: "What should I do about my feelings about Persephone?" Zeus (Persephone's father): "You should kidnap her." Demeter: "I will kill every human on the planet if my daughter is not returned to me!" Zeus: "Wow, she is not taking this well. Hades, I know the safety of alive mortals isn't your thing, but do you mind if Persephone returns to the land of the living for half the year?" Hades: "Sure, I am not forcing Persephone to stay here." Persephone: "But I like it here." Zeus: "Please, for the sake of humans?" Persephone: Eye roll "Fine."
@@Justin-sj5of Yeah, it's often omitted that Hades needed Zeus' permission to kidnap her, which Persephone seems to have understood from the beginning was how she was going to meet her future husband no matter who it was.
1:50 Ares you may be the God of War, but Hades is one of the Big Three annd the oldest of three. You do not FUCK with him.
Hades is NOT EVIL
Take that Hollywood
Hands down one of my favorite depictions of Hades and Persephone.
when your uncle wants to take your girl
That girl is also the niece of Hades and cousin of Ares.
Greek family relationships are close.
@@alanguages is he her Half-Brother too because of Zeus
@@ΣοφοκληςΒλαχόπουλος-ι9ν Yes. Zeus is Persephone's father. Literally half sister and half cousin of Ares.
Edit: In other words 75% siblings to each other. The only way it would have been 100% was if Hera was Persephone's Mom.
Bruh 😂
How old is she anyway? 17 years?
Ares : I choose bloodshed-
Hades : *Immediately mixes his shit*
But Ares never rapped in greek Mithology. Poseidon a Zeus did it a lot, buy not Ares.
A lot of the other gods stories about them assaulting people came from the same place Ares tales did.
@@Ashbrash1998 Hes was the father of amazons, he killed a Poseidon Son to stop his rape.
@@ramonsapiensAmazon women whom I deliberately ignore
The Gods never raped anyone, that is just Hollywood crap.
@@Emiliana-be4pg Marvel and DC dont follow the greek mithology
Hades gave ares that work in 10 seconds😂😂I wish they fought longer….although one was fighting the other was just getting beat up😭
A lot of people say that Ares woul never attempt a woman. Say this to Rhae Silvia.
Yes
that's later Roman changes. in fact a lot of more modern known myths are from Roman sources.
That's Mars not Ares they are not the same deity
I LOVE THIS COUPLE SO MUCH i put a like on this video just because I love this couple 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
0:22 xbox to all the sony ponies!
Ares in the myths was a protector of mistreated women smh 🤦🏾♀️
Nah he was the exact incarnation of war and war crimes
In some versions in others not
In the mythology of Ares he was a rapist and had no problem cruelly punishing a woman or anyone.
That is not true in Greek religion, Ares was NEVER worshiped as a god who defended women, and had no problem sexually assaulting them or cruelly punishing them.
And in the original mythology, Hades kidnapped Persephone, and tricked her in eat the food of the Underworld to makes her return.
Unlike in Blood of Zeus, in that Persephone went with Hades for her own will, and she also ate the food of the Underworld, even after that Hades warned her about it, only to not be separated from him by Demeter.
Maybe Ares forgot that Hades is his father's older brother he had absolutely no chance of winning
Ares gone too far
In ancient Greek Mythology. Hades was not portrayed as evil, but as a role that NEEDED to be done.
That trash show keeps messing with the greek mythology. Cant wait to be cancelled
You must not be familiar with media and mythology in general. Have you never watched Disney's Hercules?
The myths are almost never depicted accurately. It’s disappointing but far from surprising.
@TimberlakeTigerGirl Since when was Disneys Hercules accurate to Greek mythology?
@@RyanG0899 My point exactly. It's not
If you want the exact Greek mythology then just read the original poems💀
Ares may be the God of War, but there is no war without death. 🔥
Ares was about to spend the rest of eternity with the "old man" in the underworld if it weren't for Persephone
I love that Persephone is barefoot. It suits her very well.
It’s truly hilarious that Ares thought he could best Hades. God of War meet the God of the Underworld.
I think Ares will have a character arc in the third season. He will start off immature but grows to become wise and pragmatic as he is in Greek Mythology. Plus, this event might be before he sired the Queen of the Amazons, respected women, and dated Aphrodite (to Hephaestus' chagrin).
