I had no idea that the game “Hades” was so mythologically accurate!

Second Wave Feminism is so ?good? at obscuring historical context for the sake of shallow girl power! fan fiction. [Stares in Jane Eyre/Wide Sargasso Sea] (Will always be grateful for my ability to get credit without a male cosigner, Second Wave, but I really hate your contributions to the literature)

This moment in revisionist history was sponsored by Christianity, the good old days and the number 3...

So if Mycenaean Poseidon is Persephone's father and the god of the underworld, then perhaps he kidnapped Persephone in the Mycenaean version of the myth. If so this sounds more like a custody battle between two parents, what with the whole shared time thing. Mycenaean Poseidon: "She's going to follow the family business and be a beautiful goddess of the underworld." Demeter: "No, she's going to be a spring goddess." Teenage Persephone: "Ugh, I'm just going to be in my room"

I really enjoyed this dive into the characters and ideas behind this popular myth. As always it was an interesting perspective and dive into ways of looking at the myth and its history.

I don’t n is if it’ll be just me, but I see all the relationships in this mythology as individual pieces of dung, wherein the King and Queen of The Underworld is Wombat poop. Disgusting beginnings but ends up as a visually perfect yet oddly adorable cube shape.

Publishing this video topic with "Let it snow" during a polar vortex is *chef's kiss*

Excellent video! I love the art and your thorough research. Would you ever consider posting a source list for you myth videos? I would love to read the original material.

Jason Veevaert

Funny how that works, that one of the few healthy relationships in Greek Mythology is more frowned upon then the explicitly more rapey stories. Also I like how you described ancient gods beings seen less as paragons and more as what is, and how power works in this culture.

My theory is that Hades as we know him is an offshoot of Mycenaean Poseidon and Dionysus. There’s plenty of evidence for a connection with Dionysus.

Stephen Gillie

When people tell Persephone to goto the underwold, she smiles, for her lover lives there. At least that's the vibe I got from Lindsay Ellis. But real life is always more complicated.

I Love the "Scary Older Deity" vibe Red has been channeling since her exploration of Dionysus! I'm looking forward to some screens from this vid in the wallpaper drop for the coming month.

This is the post that finally pushed me to become a patreon. You rock.

Red my immense compliments to you, this is the video that got me to become a patreon. I'm a lowly adjunct at a community college, but I am always looking for ways to help get my students more excited about material when I teach & your Dionysus, Aphrodite, & Hades videos are truly superb summaries of the the relationship of ancient to Mycenaean Greece (though minor correction to your Dionysus video: while Dionysus does not appear in "The Iliad" there is a mention of him having a conflict with the legendary founder of Sparta Lycurgus). I hope you do more videos like these about the Greeks AND start to similar such videos about the Hindu pantheon & Norse pantheon.

Bumped up my teir for this vid. I absolutely loved it, and it makes me wanna know more about OG Poseidon. I'd also love to know more about Hekate too.

James Obsidian

Loved this one. I have heard about the other descriptions of Persephone alot but never any details. Thank you Red for showing us all the possibilities about where the Dread Persephone came from.

From what she’s been hinting at, she’s trying to do a deep dive on Loki and finding that the sources on Loki are so horrendous that studying his origins is horrifically difficult

Also a fun fact: "Hades" isn't a real name either. It just means "The Unseen (One)", which originally could've been a chthonic epithet of Poseidon
