A. E. Stalling's Poem Hades Welcomes His Bride

But whatever it is that Hades did, let it go. I have a feeling you aren’t down here by choice, and if that is the case I truly am sorry. But Hades loves you, and he needs to know that you love him back. Hades is hated far and wide by both men and gods. Hades is feared. He grew up the bane of his parents and siblings and it only got worse when he took over the underworld. He was never what one would call normal. Persephone, he is so lonely and starved for attention. If he lied to get you here he did it out of fear, or a misguided attempt at earning the attention from you he so craved. Besides, without him you wouldn’t even be living.” This struck me as odd and I cocked my head to the side, trying hard to hang on to my fading anger and

I am talking about Hades, the God of the Underworld in Greek mythology. Hades isn’t the bad guy people say he is becauses of his background, treatment of others, and the people he rules over. Hades was not evil as he had been depicted, but rather he pushes away others. After Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus defeated their father along with the other titans.

Throughout the film, when Hades appears, very low lighting is used. As well, his face is colored in a way that makes the actor look sickly and pale. As it is explained in “The Clash of the Titans”, Hades is the king of the Underworld, and has spent centuries underground. The use of low lighting and pale coloring are symbolic of evil and danger. Thus, not only does the use of low lighting and pale coloring detail the effects of life in the underworld, but it also signifies Hades as the bad guy within the

and he is actually a hero. The first reason on why Hades is benevolent is because he is misunderstood. On the Website degree.com it said that Hades s just passive and that he is only harsh when other people try to leave the underworld or when people try to cheat deat. This explains that Hades is passive, missunderstood and is only harsh when people try to cheat death or try to leave the underworld.

The second most interesting thing about Hades is his characteristics. When we think of Hades, we think of something close to Satan. Although that might be true, it's not the whole picture of Hades. "He was called Pluto, the god of wealth, of precious metals hidden in the earth" (Hamilton24). I'm not saying Hades was not bad because he did some pretty messed up things that led to not being welcomed in places. "

On greek myths and greek mythology it says “Hades gave persephone 3 enchanted pomegranate seeds that forced her to stay in the underworld for 6 months and made her marry him”. This shows people that Hades did indeed capture persophony and force her to be his wife. Another reason why hades is a bad person is because he hires people to beat the guilty. On the oddesy.com it says “Hades even hires people to beat the guilty!”

Hades is known to be a ruthless king and will torture those in the underworld. But he actually has Quite a soft side. Hades had a love and her name was Persephone the daughter of Demeter. Persephone was the goddess of growing she helped the plants grow all the year. She did not like hades so Hades kidnapped Persephone and made her starve she was so hungry she ate the forbidden fruit the pomegranate she only ate six seeds. Those six seeds meant that she had to stay with Hades for six months a year which is why plants don't grow in the fall and winter again going back to the Greek myths and how they explain the

“How easy is it to judge rightly after one sees what evil comes from judging wrongly.” -Elizabeth Gaskell. This quote from Elizabeth Gaskell relates to the Greek god, Hades, of the Underworld and the dead. From ancient Greek to modern times Hades was and still is viewed as the god of evil. He is viewed evil in society because he drew the small end of the sticks.

Have you ever known that one girl who was pretty, popular, and it looks like she has it all? In Greek Mythology Persephone started out as that girl. She was pretty and sought after by many. She enjoyed her afternoons in the sunshine, and had a mother that doted on her. That all changed when she accidentally caught Hades eye.

The myth begins with Perseus rashly promising king Polydectes the head of Medusa. However this is not an easy task, as anyone who looks at Medusa is turned to stone. Later on, Perseus uses Medusa’s head for both the good and evil; the good to turn a sea monster to stone which saves princess Andromeda from certain death, but the evil to turn Polydectes to stone which consequently kills him. Due to the fact that Perseus’ sight is extremely limited when fighting Medusa, he is at a huge disadvantage. It takes a great deal of wit to have to go into battle blind and this shows Perseus’ perseverance in the face risk and proves his courageousness.

The fact that she’s described as “picking flowers in a field” when Hades comes to abduct her, sets the tone for the rest of the story as to how active her role will be. Her abduction is, by definition, non-consensual and robs her of any agency in her own story. Not just that, but in some versions of the myth Hades even rapes her, defiling her body and mind in the name of claiming her as “his.” Hannan refers to this type of journey as “a descent through trauma and victimization,” and casts Persephone as a pawn to be moved by more powerful figures. To the Greek audience hearing this, they would see Persephone as an “unwilling bride” which, as Madeline Nold outlines in The Persephone Paradigm, “was an unwitting repetition of the earlier experience of Demeter… in modern psychological terms, it could be said that the unhealthy family pattern reiterated itself, from mother to daughter.”
