Hades; also the only Greek God not constantly cheating on his wife. The 1 time it happened was because someone disguised herself as his wife so well, she fooled him. And he was pissed!
The thing is, most media portray him as a villain, when he's not. He's just a guy doing his job. He has no resentments towards fellow gods, especially Zeus. However, a lot of his stories are twisted by others when they translate them, to try and make him evil, because people nowadays fear death, while the Ancient Greeks viewed death as a part of life, something to be embraced, not feared or loathed.
I loved how he was portrayed in the books the first time I read them. He was imponent and powerfull yet somewhat sad at the sime time. Dude got the short end of the stick out of the three brothers when it came to his domain, always surrounded by depressed, angry or crazy souls every single day, and yet people still manage to blame him for the bad things that happen. I always felt simpathy for Hades everytime he showed up
Hades was pretty chill in myth. He helped more mortals and heroes than he screwed over. The ones he really let out his rage on were trying to kidnap his wife.
What's the best portrayal of Hades you've seen? 👀
He got a reliable job, a cute wife, a cute dog, and infinite money. He’s chillin.
Making hades the bad guy is like blaming the nightguard at a graveyard for all the deaths
hades over here like “no, i don’t want to expand my dominion to olympus, im already having a fucking stroke with these fuckers.”
Percy: where's the lightning?
I also like how the game "Hades" basically portrays Hades as an no nonsense work focused dad who has difficulties showing vulnerabilities.
“You stole the lightning bolt”

I want a portrayal where Hades is just an overworked businessman who’s just pissed that Zeus keeps suing him for petty shit. 😂
Hollywood can't help itself from treating Zeus and Hades like they were God and Satan.
Percy: Hey, YOU. You’re the bad guy
"Me? Steal a lightning bolt? I have enough paperwork to sift through already, thank you very not."

"Why would I want to expand my dominion to Olympus, when everyone's dying to meet me first?"
I love Hades, literally a chill dude just doing his job
People forget Hades is about the chillest of the pantheon
ZEUS: Hades is trying to take over Olympus!
Hades is basically the best Greek god, he is faithful, he is dedicated to his realm and keep "his sword inside it's sheath"
