You gotta feel bad for Persephone. Assuming that Chronos still has her and the rest of the house frozen in time, freeing her means that she'll have lost, in a single instant, the chance to see her child grow up for a second time.
My theories are that is the game develops you'll eventually hit a point where you'll start unlocking various members of the House of Hades from their imprisonment one by one with Hades presumably being the final one after you've either killed Kronos and there's no one else or since he's time itself made peace with him. I would expect a plot point of contention to be Persephone does not want to make peace with the selfish monster who terrorized her husband when he was a child and then stole her chance to raise her daughter I feel like we might actually get to see Persephone Embrace anger.
@alienonlsd3209 thats what i think too. Imagine after each win we bring a member back to the crossroads with us. I wonder how the story will play out in the full game
@alienonlsd3209 i love this theory because Kore means Maiden, but Persephone means Bringer of Death...! So... I like to imagine that Demeter doesn't see her daughter in her full potential, but a bringer of life rather than also a bringer of death :00
Omg right and I have so much motivation to save them we bonded with these guys in the first game and now they have been taken from us I want chronos to suffer 😡
There's another line when you pick Demeter after rejecting her in a god trial: Your mother used to anger me in just this way, and look where *that* got her.
@@Noriniaright. still nasty but somehow more in line to the first game; her bloodthirsty war cries still echo and works really well in this game as well!
well, in this version, Persephone isn't the daughter of Zeus and Demeter (conceived through "less pleasant means") but rather Persephone was mentioned to be a demigod, born of Demeter and one of her mortal lovers, so that makes Zagreus and Melione a quarter mortal, hence the reason why it was possible for them to die and why they bleed red blood instead of ichor (golden blood of Gods), although they can revive themselves once in the Underworld
in the first game, Persephone had told Zagreus that her engagement and marriage to Hades was some thing she had done in a fit of "teenage rebellion" against her overprotective mother, and Zeus even supported Persephone by offering her to Hades, but the relationship between Hades and Persephone soured after Zagreus was born, so she left and went to the mortal world till Zagreus came and helped her reconcile with Hades
sometime after this reconciliation, Hades and Persephone had a daughter, Melinoe, but then Kronos attacked and Hades had to send his daughter away with Hekate to the Crossroads for protection, while everyone else in the Underworld got frozen in time by Kronos's power
@@firxanza5172might be better to say it soured after Zagreus was a stillborn child, though Hades seemed to bend some rules so he would actually be able to grow up in spite of that since he’s the god of the underworld. Or at least I think it’s something like that
@@gameb9oyIt wasn’t Hades that pulled some strings but rather Nyx. Her daughters, the Fates, weaved a chance at life for Zagreus. Hades was likely still dealing with depression of losing his wife and child.
It’s weird seeing in comment sections people confused on Greek myth and where this differs not realizing there’s many, many variations of every myth, sometimes Persephone is daughter to a mortal, sometimes she’s the original Goddess of the Underworld and Hades just married into it and so many things in between.
her been the original goddess is actually a thing. Mycannean Greece is far different than Hellenist Greece , so meta-wise , Persephone is actually old than Hades , even Pan and Hermes were originally a single god as well. It's just that we actually lack an actual mycanean greek myth , what we had is just indirect stuff.
Demeter constantly degrades mortals, literally called Persephone weak because of her fathers blood in her, and still calls her kore despite her daughter wanting to go by Persephone, literally is so awful Persephone would rather hide from her mother than go back to olympus after a traumatic event losing her son. Demeter: why doesnt my daughter honor me :(
You know, I'm kinda sad the game (and also blood of zeus, while we're at it) decided to go with this characterizaton for her. Her getting persephone back is a good story of love perservering against authority too. Mother's Love is still love. This could work by making the whole thing a misunderstanding, with the idea of the kidnapping being Zeus's as it was in many myths.
@@andrellnogueira In the game , the kidnapping was still Zeus's idea. Regardless , Demeter IS cold with mortals when she wants to enact vengeance. When it comes to the olympians , she is one that it's hard to get angry and the sorts , but when she does , it's legit twisted. Like how Erysichthon was punished with eternal howling hunger , to the point of reaching poverty and begging on the streets for food , he then solded his own shapeshifting daughter repeatedly as well , and reached a point of madness , and he ate his own flesh while bitten by snakes and Demeter made him the Ophiucus Constellation so that he spends eternity eating himself and be bitten by snakes in the sky.

@@phantasosxgames8488 yep I watch overly sarcastic productions as well!
It would be really interesting to meet Persephone's father somewhere in the Underworld, wether in this game or a future one.
Absolutely agreed
I think he'd be pretty bewildered with his grandkids, but pretty happy with them as well
Uh... Wasn't the father Zeus?
@delta9-87 according to Demeter in this video, Persephone's father was a mortal farmer.
