left is how I see persephone drawn a lot, right is how I think she should look. (I just want punk rock persephone man i'd pay good money for that interpretation) (I'd also pay good money for a version where the whole pomegranite curse thing is bull crap and she stayed in the underworld bc she genuinely liked hades) fun facts- "the dread persephoone" is referenced in writing older than either Hades or Demeter, implying that people not only worshipped persephone as queen of the underworld, but that they feared her. persephone and Hades actually had a remarkably functional relationship, with very few disputes and (probably) no cheating, at least on hades' end, and it's super unclear if persephone ever cheated, (will elaborate more on this later.) in other words, Nico de Angelo shouldn't exist. ok time to talk about the persephone cheating thing. as research for a project, I looked into Hades and Persephone to see if they have kids. they kinda do, mostly don't. I could only find the video game Hades's main character as a kid of theirs, but I could find very few scources that actually referenced him. in fact the only one I could find was one that said he was... Zeus and Persephone's kid. ew. I mean I know the internet has accepted that Zeus will impregnate anything that moves but REALLY DUDE? shes's YOUR KID (probably)! maybe. it's really unclear.
