Hades and Persephone - What Really Happened
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มี.ค. 2012
- Just a silly video I made for my Latin Class semester final project. For those of you who aren't familiar with the traditional story of Hades and Persephone, esentially Hades kidnaps Persephone, and her mother, Demeter goes demeted with greif and stops taking care of the world, so Zeus has to intervene and strike a custody deal between the two.
Hades is almost always cast as the bad guy, Persephone as the innocent victim, and Demeter as the good protective sort, with Zeus as a neutral intermediary. However, having read a lot of other myths in my classical studies, that's not really how I see them, and if you read the original myth closely and know some Roman culture, it could be interpreted differently. Which is what I did here.
Oh, and the obligitory discalimer! I did draw all the characters in this viedo, the backgrounds are edited photos, and the music and the original story and charater names are not mine.
Anyway, hope you enjoy the video! - ตลก
This is absolutely amazing. Such a beautiful retelling of the myth. And the twist at the end, where Zeus "tricks" Demeter into agreeing to have Persephone stay with Hades longer...that was badass. Clearly, Zeus realized that his daughter had matured and was ready to be make her own life choices. That takes a level of understanding and trust that you just don't see that often from males in regards to their daughters. Superb. Bravo.
Hades and Persephone look like Snape and lily
Yes ;-)
I thought he looked like Gerard Way from My chemical romance xD
Alyssa Smith damn true..😢😢💔
True
No, really?
Awww... Seriously, why is Hades always cast as the bad guy? He's honestly the only god who never cheated on his wife (well, except Minthe, but SHE was seducing HIM, so there's that) and he actually helped humans, or at least wasn't a total prick to us.
ikr i thought he was just underrated and doesn't get crazy mood swings
Its true (y)
Philly PA i heard that he was with Minthe before Persephone and that he forgot to end things with her and she was basically shit talking and either Demeter or Persephone turned her into mint but i could be misinformed.
sherry otero I know that story; Minthe tried seducing Hades and Persephone got pissed and turned her into the mint plant. Hades turned her down, so his record's still clean.
I have a question: Where do you read about these things?
I know exactly how Persephone feels like having an over protective mother.
LOL
OK people let me get this straight Hades is not the god of death!!! he is the god of the underworld! thantos is the god of death read the heroes of Olympus!!!
kay harris I read the first one.I’ll buy the second one tomorrow.
Hermes: DON'T INVOLVE ME IN THIS CRAP
Persephone: I shall have Hermes send you letters.
Hermes: DDDDDDDD;
was paper even a thing back then?
Hades and Persephone...still a better love story than twilight.
Dude yes!! Lol
yes
I prefer the original, where Persephone came to love him in the end by seeing through his "bad man" image.
Kind of like Beauty and the Beast
carol zebra LOL same,it is like Persephone had Stockholm Syndrome.
but he wasnt a bad dude really. he just did his job and didn't sleep with everyone unlike somebody.
also how tf do you have stockholm syndrome if you ask them to take you away. do you even understand what stockholm syndrome is?
hahahaah poor hermes....
i really loved this...Hades and Persephone....
Me too
If they made an anime based on Greek mythology, Hadephone would be the best thing in the show.
@@recjr7685 I think they already have, don't know what the name of it is though.
OMG IT REALLY IS LILY AND SNAPE LOOK AT THE END IT'S BABY HARRY OMG
Harry Potter hihihi ^_^
Captain Levi OTP
Emina Chan YES
damn he could have given her twelve seeds but he didn't
am I the only one who realized...isn't Hades her uncle???
aren't zues and demeter married?
and Hades , isn't he zues's brother?
+Dalya A that's a fact. but you know greek myths :v Zeus have many affairs (poor Hera) He's even married to Hera, her sister. HAAHAHHAHA
+Dalya A I've always like to view their story as Hades saving her from her father on top of their love lol.
if you had already knew about greek gods before you had watch this it wouldn't be a shocker beacuase
they would married their borther or sister or something like that
U r right he is her uncle and Zeus is married to both his sisters Hera and demeter
Greek gods do whatever they want
I loved it, cute and creative, especially the Snape-Hades
Ophelia Blue AH ok I spoke too soon, I saw the HP bit at the very end :D You're awesome
Snape-Hades. Lol.
Is it just me or is it that Hades kinda looks like Snape....
yes
Fried Cake Makes it even better lmao
Fried Cake omgomg
And Persephone looks like Merida.
I thought he looked like Gerard Way from My chemical romance xD
I just watched the vid cuz of my greek project on any one greek myth. really good drawings.... hades looks handsome! i hate it the way people make him ugly, he's actually so handsome just like the way you made it... i always thought hades was the villain but you changed my opinion. i like this roman way!!!
I also hate what they did to him what is ugly to have demonized as he is perhaps the the most sympathetic of the three divine brothers!
I loved the beautiful video and Hades he's cute !!!!!!!!!
He definitely is, and I hate the way he is being portrayed as a cruel villain in many books and movies these days, ***** .
Lillianne Dashwood omg omg kill me
Hades is my favourite God. I love him so much and this video is really amazing
İremnur Ak Hades is life (maybe)
At least he was never a dick
Yes Hadès it's m'y favorite god too
İremnur Ak if you love him so much why don't you marry him
Mine too
Such a cute story xx way better than the more commonly known myth. The twist at the end was like WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved it ;) x
Hades looks like Kylo Ren
"Actually" is relative when it comes to oral tradition, which is where myths came from. Many versions of the myth say there were 6 seeds, and that autumn (when everything starts to process of dying and going into winter) is part of Persephone's absence as well.
Since myths were mostly spoken, then writeen down later, and exact continuity of minor details wasn't as important, lots of Greek myths have different versions
This is so good and I love how you approached it with such a cool sense of humour. The art work is amazing also.
Tsk tsk, you need to learn how to do math, Zeus
i never realized i was waiting for this video all this time
Hades is the brother of Zeus, and Persephone is the daughter of Zeus. Which means Persephone got married to her uncle, how very incestral.
right?
kay harris You don't get it? Hades is Zeus brother, Persephone is known to be Zeus daughter. If Hades is Zeus brother and Persephone is Zeus daughter that means Hades is the uncle of Persephone, which means Persephone got married to her uncle, get it?
*****
OMG i do know i know like everything about greek gods and goddess
kay harris Lol, that's why I said incesral.
So. Zeus got married to his sister.
This was brilliant! You def put a lot of effort and I espesially loved the ending c;
Can you do another one of these? With the story being that of Eros and Psyche, please?☺
I love this very much. And I loved how you mad Hades, very sexy lol. Everything was awesome and Hermes face at the end was hilarious 😄
This Persephone looks like Merida from Brave. :-)
Emzeez I agree all she needs now are arrows!😂
One of the best videos I have ever watched. It actually captured my attention more than the original myth when I learned about it in my mythology class.
Creative & artistic! Good job! 👍 Make more vids like this 🤗
This is such a sweet story. Thank you for posting.
I can't say how much I absolutely LOVE your video!
Snape, are you?! You find your Lily at last:,) LOL (I love this myth)
That's not true, she got pulled to the underworld and stayed with hades for two seasons while the plants still grew and she had to stay with her mother for two seasons too and her mother is Demeter
Haha its was very funny! I love Hades & Persephone Great Job :P
This is just amazing! I loved every minute :D
Poor Hermes 😂
Am I the only one who thinks Persephone looks like Sigyn and Hades like Loki from norse mythology ?? :O
Hermes expression in the end was like ohhhh nooo😰
this is very well done I have to applaud you for this its awsome.
Hadès lord of darkness (y)
I don’t thing hades is supposed to be all goth like
He is because he is god of the underworld but he is not evil
TAKE ME AWAY! A SECERET PLACE! AS SWEET AS CAKE! TAKE ME AWAY!
This is the niciest story about Hades and Persephone that I see. This is very beautiful! +
I thought Demeter is one of the lamest Olympians i know but then after all this! Damn! She's like Gaia Version 2.0 she can kill the earth alone
omg :') beautiful! love it love it love it!! keep it up!
This is great.
I love the twist you added. I personally think that all this drama is Ero's fault, not Hades' and Demeter is way too protective, but then again, all of Greek Mythology is one big insane soap opera, which is why it's awesome. :3
This is so great! I LOVE the ending with Harry Potter being born!
hades is giving mw my chemical romance vibes
Persephone said "I have hermes to send you a letter" (I dont knkw is that right or nah) hermes reaction "!!!" right? For me hermes reaction "F*** did I really need to do that???" well hermes was messenger of gods and goddess
I really laugh the part the Zeus was busy XDDD
This made me happier than I can explain!
is it just me or was Hades really hit
hot*
I love this video, great job
Well done! Interesting interpretation!
Hello first I would like to say I really like this video. I would like to ask if I can use some of your drawings from this video for a class project that I'm doing on Persephone and Hades. I would give you credit for the the drawings.
+Nessa Brklje How exactly are you going to use the pictures? I'm inclined to let you (as long as you credit me, of course) if its for a poster or a PowerPoint but not for another video.
+GlowRune78 I would be using them for a PowerPoint, I'm doing a project that talks about different variations of Persephone and Hades' story
Nessa Brklje A power point is fine. Thanks for asking. :)
+GlowRune78 Your welcome ^^
+Nessa Brklje 8:20 LMAO
Severus snape is that you?!
it reminds me of Severus Snape and Lily Evans... Severus' and Lily's hairstyle, eyes and behaviour, the background music from Underworld is like the background music from Deathly Hallows 2. Anyway, I love this. The art is so cute but some spellings are wrong, anyway, it is just a small mistake. I really enjoyed this.
p.s. Hermes is lol... funny. And Cupid too. XD
And this is how Harry Potter was born! :P I laughed so much at the end :D
I love the fact that Hades looks like Snape lol, you've also chosen HP's music :D
smart and funny, I love this video!
This is amaaaaazing!
Hadès it's wonderfull 💖💖💖
That was utterly charming!!
So where can I find this version of the story because I would really like to see it.
This is wonderful!
how's the music from the part with cupidon called?
Hermes I'm busy: picking up chicks
I just loved this rendition of the Hades & Persophina story. If it were contemporary and honest. It would probably be accurate on how the girl feels about things. Oh to be young again...lol
hahaha lol the ending was priceless. loved all of it!
wait...was that baby Harry Potter?
Yessssss listen music
Technically Hades and Persephone's son is Morpheus, the god of dreams.
that's so funny and I loved it. great job. blessed be
is it just me or does anybody else sing the first line of "You Give Love A Bad Name" at 1:24
was that harry potter at the end?
donde consigo el animee
And that’s how Loki and Merida fell in love
Someone will write me dialogues from this animation?
.. poor hermes lol i did love the work u put into this some of the videos i see r pretty much crap it's like they didn't care or got everything all wrong but since u decided to change the story it's really good =D if only i knew how to make a thumbs up on this keybored lo
Great job !
Good job I love it!
Exactly how many seeds did Persephone eat ? The myth says one thing and I hear people saying something completely different.
Awesome video! But what is the title of the song that plays when Hades gives the pomegranate to Persephone?
I was doing funny voices for Demeter and man tht goddess is gonna KILL ME XD
But seriously, good job :D
Hey, I got to do the same thing for my latin class! (I have Persephone) so I was wondering how you did all of that stuff, like editing. If you can give me some tips I would be laeta! Plz reply, thanks :)
Project due: March, 5
hmmm can I ask something? Which songs/ melodies did you use for this, please please please tell me!!
Somehow I expected something like:
Demeter: "You know where she is?! How is she`!"
Zeus: "Married."
Demeter: "WHAAAAAAATTTTT?????!!!!!"
Awesome. Do a longer one
Hadès as Dark beauty 💖
Ok . Cupid is like I'm going to shoot you with my arrow! Ha ha ha! The look on Hades is like 😨! Nice😁. Good work in that!
There isnt any difference between this story and the origional.
I love her face when she said "Yes I did". Poor Hermes!
I came here after reading the book "A court of thorns and roses" by Sarah J. Mass because the second book will be based by Hades and Persephone story and I wanted to learn more about them :)
THIS IS GREAT!!!
Loved it!
Oh my... this is amazing *_* I translated the myth today from Latin to German and asked myself why someone didn't want to stay with a hot god of the underworld ;) xD
*snicker* when you drew zues and Hermes listening, i couldnt help but laugh.
It's called "The Face of Boe" Track 16 from the Doctor Who Soundtrack for Seasons 1 and 2 of the new series. It's by Murray Gold, if that helps you find it. :)
That ending is the best thing I've ever seen in my life xD
I laughed through this entire video, it's a special kind of comedy
That's not right Eros never used his bow and arrow one hades and phersepone they found love on their own
yes but whatever
I love the Dramatic music XD
Is there like a time line in human history that they wrote and figured this stuff out cause its 2013 and I'm pretty damn confused.
Geez!!! Demeter has issues. Zeus this is one of your good deeds
Ps love this video
