xd I lol'd! Akherontis Mnemosyne Moneta Um, how do you think Meniloe was made? I don't think Persephone allowed him to do it willingly. Melinoe and Makaria are deities unique to the Orphic cult, which is to Greek Mythology what Mormonism is to Christianity. It's probably accepted that Hades was either infertile or simply asexual. I always felt he was sterile, if he wasn't sterile then I would attribute his and Persephone's lack of children (in the generally accepted mythology) to the fact that no life can be created in the underworld. I couldn't see him being asexual since he did want Persephone to be his queen and I'm sure that they would have tried to produce children. I get the impression Persephone would want kids even if it is with someone who she didn't choose to marry.

HADES!!!!!!! i kinda feel bad for him because he totally got cheated out by his brothers! and plus, you got to admit, you would be all moody and shady if you were stuck in the underworld forever! i like him because he's moody! he's real and not fake-so to say- like Zeus! nothing against Zeus or anything, i'm just saying.

Mnemosyne Moneta I don't really like any of the three.They all did some sexually wrong thing. Some more than others. New question: Who is better, Hestia, Hera or Demeter? DEMETER!! Hera is cool too but she went down on my like level when she threw Hephaestus off mount Olympus! Hestia is rely shy ii would guess and she doesn't have much of a story either

Hades all the way. Zeus is ok but a total whore and I lost all respect for Poseidon after he raped Medusa, he doesn't deserve the seas in my opinion. At least Zeus takes the time to try and seduce his victims. I don't approve of Hades kidnapping Kore but other than that he's pretty clean. Disney totally ruined his image. o:<

Zeus threw him off Olympus because Hephaestus supported Hera in one of their usual "fights"(Zeus was cheating on her etc.)

Both are stories. :3

I couldn't see him being asexual since he did want Persephone to be his queen and I'm sure that they would have tried to produce children. I get the impression Persephone would want kids even if it is with someone who she didn't choose to marry. Perhaps if Hades has Demigod children of his own, that Persephone would care about them, in her own way[debatable as to how straightforward she would be in caring about them, since it varies, but more than Hera would have done, that much i know for sure!] but as much as its agreed that Persephone or Amphritrite>>>Hera[it varies on how much!] what we don't know for sure is should you be sired by either Poseidon or Hades, which step-mother is the more reasonable of the two. I can't forget that Poseidon can hold his anger somewhat better than Zeus or Hades could, but Hades has more reasons to be angry than Zeus does, more times than not[like when Poseidon's son, Theseus, traveled with a companion who tried to kidnap Persephone, and Herc had to save Theseus' and his companion's spines from getting sent to Tartarus!] Either way, at least Hades didn't suffer badass decay, and Hades needs a hug. Why can't i pick between Poseidon or Hades very well, again? Forgive me for coming out blunt. emo

It's debatable as to whether Poseidon can hold his anger as much as Zeus. If anything, Zeus' wrath appears to manifest through calculated schemes and punishments, while Poseidon is more prone to grudges and impulsive acts of destruction, as in the Odyssey.
Hades has rather suffered badass decay these days. Now he's portrayed as more of a jealous whinger who covets the throne of Zeus. Which is strange, considering that Hades is the wealthiest of all gods, with the most subjects and the largest realm in his dominion. And also considering that it was Poseidon in mythology who attempted to overthrow Zeus, not Hades.

And also considering that it was Poseidon in mythology who attempted to overthrow Zeus, not Hades. True enough about Poseidon, but to be honest, both he and Zeus have much harder times containing their respective amounts of collateral damages than Hades does, and that i don't think you can deny, either way. That's why i meant except for the Odysseus Incident, because otherwise, it would be clearer for me to pick between Poseidon or Hades, although you do have a point on their respective badass decaying, even though Zeus' case is more obvious, i feel[even so, i can see your point on how, at least every once in a while, he comes up with smart ideas that have very little to no errors on them, but when he does have flaws in the plans...well, all Tartarus breaks loose, usually(But not always right away!)] Wouldn't it also vary with How Zeus would terrify you if you threaten either him or his children, as well, ranging from various schemes and punishments, to the basic striking you with electricity(if you're lucky!) or plasma?Hades is a God of Wealth, and if you ask me, if i had to have children and send them to learn the arts of war from any 3 people, i would have either Chiron or Hades on that list, because Hades was said to be a Spymaster for the Olympian Army during the Titan War, and i will forever be awe-inspired by how he sabotaged the Titan army's weapon supplies, no matter how else i'd look at it.

Olympian army. XD I doubt the number of gods on either side went over the hundred-mark.
The reason Hades' influences are less visibly destructive than those of his brothers is quite simply because he is self-confined to his own realm and has little to do with us. But ignore the stories for a moment and recognize how frightening Hades was to the Hellenes as a religious figure. His name was not spoken for fear of invoking him, he was prayed to by pressing one's head against the ground, and he had no temples, while his altars were always Khthonian ditches. Hades didn't need to exercise his wrath for it to be feared.

Hades didn't need to exercise his wrath for it to be feared. They probably had soldiers and warriors in Centaurs and Cyclopes, if it helps, plus i heard that the Titans had soldiers and warriors in their various monsters. Somehow, i can see your point. Paying respects to Hades is meant to be solemn, just as paying respects to Aphrodite is meant to be a solemn thing, isn't it? The Hellenes must have had their spines frozen over more times than we knew, if i had to make a guess.

No, they didn't. Centaurs weren't a tribe at that point in time, the only ones born were Kheiron and the Ikhthyokentauroi, Aphros and Bythos. There were only three Kyklopes at the time, Arges, Brontes and Steropes. And the Titans certainly didn't have soldiers or monsters fighting for them, as all the monsters of that period still exist in the Olympian era, except for Kampe, who was killed by Zeus when he was a child in order to free the Kyklopes and the Hekatonkheires from Tataros. It was literally an earth-shaking, ten-year long war, with only a handful of deities on either side. The vast majority of the beings alive at the time were neutral, including all the female Titans except for Hekate.
