Fun fact. Hades' kingdom is called Aid (German pronunciation). Another fun fact. In Bulgarian, some people call him also Aid, which as I said means Underworld or Hell. Hades means "unseen". He didn't have luck with the names.

What colour do you most associate with hades/the underworld?

Because I know that most people would say red (hell) or blue (Disneys hades) but I’ve had a few say green (Fortnite) and I’ve always associated it with the colour purple. 

So now I need to know-

Dear Hades,

Through you, I’ve found an escape. From my overbearing mother, Who thinks that I’m a mere child, Her precious flower, Who she believes will wilt without her. Demeter is mistaken, Without her, I’ve grown only stronger. You’re nothing like they’d told me you’d be. You’re too warm to be the God of the Underworld, Too caring, Too happy. You’ve helped me realize, That I’m more than capable of being independent. My fondness for you wasn’t imminent, Your sullen demeanor at first made me question, Why had I ever run away in the first place? From my mother’s loving embrace? From the ambrosia and nectar, My very home. And all that I had ever known? Why would I, Goddess of Spring, Of Life, Run away to the Underworld? And leave behind my life as Kore? You welcomed me into your not-so-humble abode. With the glimmering riches of Earth, Diamonds, Rubies, Sapphires, And emeralds, Decorating each and every room. You told me, That you were lonely in your wealth, And wealth meant nothing if you were alone. You introduced me to Cerberus, Who is man’s worst nightmare, And who became my best friend. You showed me how to conduct business, Taught me the dualities of man. The worst were sent to the pits of Tarturus, The best to the Elysian lands. You were startled to see, That in the darkest of depths, That I could make anything grow.

You showed me, The only living thing in the Underworld, It was a pomegranate tree. From the fruit, I ate six seeds. A seed for each month, For six months, Throughout winter and fall, I’d rule alongside you, As Queen. The other six, I’d spend with my mother, Tending to spring and summer. Humanity now calls me, “Persephone”. Bringer of destruction, Of winter, Of illness, And of death. Hades, If I were again given the choice, My choice would never be any different. Love, Persephone

My god Anticlea, I shed tears and became the origin of all waters of this World when I heared you. Your dying thought

And swallows started to sing outside my window when he mentioned Penelope, ahhhhh!!!!! @katerinaaqu

I can't, I just can't If you want to find me, please follow the path of tears and wails, it will lead you to me sobbing and screaming.

Which song of the Underworld was your favorite?

Thanks so much for asking Uge! @simugeuge

The Underworld for me, apart from being a materpiece like the musical it made bawl for 2 hours. I still cry as hard as the first time.

My biggest fear in all my life is not been able to give my farewell to my grandmother (+80 years) and when Anticlea part came I was bawling.

Then as she heard me crying she asked me what was wrong.

I translated her the song and she (who is blind by the way) stared into my eyes and said she would be Anticlea.

I'm currently crying writing this.

Aaron: Abuelica, jamás quiero que ocurra esto no podría...

Mi abuela: prendica, siempre estaré a tu lado.

English translation

Aaron: granny, never, ever I would want this to happen...

My grandma: dear, i will always be by your side.

Abuelica Why?????? 💓💓💓💓💓❤️❤️❤️.

Jorge if I catch you, you owe an apologie to my abuelica!!!! She has been humming the song in broken english, (as she only speaks spanish)😭😭

This is a really good exploration of Odysseus psyche. and T T

Please stop torturing yourself TT

"All i hear are screams" Because that's what he wants to hear. He's fine with people blaming him and yelling at him. He doesn't want to hear Polites gently singing his motto. He doesn't want to hear his mom's soft voice saying how much she loves him.

He wants to be hated and punished, he doesn't want to hear that they believed in him until the end.

So all he chooses to hear are screams

Your are foul amiga

See? The infant from that night was not the worst that could happen to you, huh?

Odisseus you silly goose

Reblog with the EPIC song that made you cry
