Hades, God of the Dead, does not take sides or bend the rules. He makes no exceptions to these values-not for god or mortal, even his lover, Persephone, Goddess of Spring.

Usually, fear prevents retaliation.

But not this time.

When Hera, Goddess of Women, approaches Hades with a plan to overthrow Zeus, he declines to offer help. As punishment, Hera sentences Hades to perform a series of labors. Each feat seems more impossible than the last and draws his attention away from Persephone-whose own tragedy has left her questioning whether she can be Queen of the Underworld.

Can Hades maintain the balance he craves?

Don’t put me on a pedestral because you feel guilty for your decisions. Just…forgive yourself so you can forgive me. Please.

They whispered to him as they circled, monstrous things they used to infect mortal minds and drive them to madness.

 and then, the deities flashed red eyes or gnashed long, sharp teeth. They were monsters more than they were human, and Hades needed them.

He had never allowed himself to think long on loss, not when it came to Persephone, though he’d always promised to end the world if anything did occur. 

Now he was certain of it, but he’d not just set it aflame.

Him being suicidal for centuries is actually sad even tho he was an asshole🙃

Apollo knew that, and Hades worried that perhaps that was what the god wanted.

Ariadne and Dionysus are so enemies to lovers coded haha

Dionysus looked toward Hades. “I’ll send maenads to scout. Maybe they can discover his next move.” He looked at Ariadne. “And start planning an escape for Phaedra.”

“I thought you didn’t take sides,” Hades replied.

“Yeah, well, fuck anyone who sides with Hera,” Dionysus said.
