    ERRATUM: It's been brought to my attention that the detail about Nerea seems to be uncorroborated by the primary source! Evidence suggests she originates in the distant past of a mid-2010s uncited edit to Nerites's wikipedia page. And that, kids, is why we always go straight to the primary source whenever we can! 🦐 -R

      and the other one is cheating Persephone only once.
      Meanwhile , Persephone only cheated Hades only once with Adonis.
      Asclepious case? Hades just ask Zeus for Asclepious to stop ressurecting people , while Zeus go on and kills Asclepious. Hercules? Hades just talks with Hercules , made a fun competion and later on gives him Cerberus , asking for him to return his dog. Orpheus? he was so moved from Orpheus' tragedy , that he goes against his job description and gives one chance for the hero to ressurect his beloved.
      Heck , in one version , his son Zagreus is killed by Hera , yet Hades helps Zeus to use Zagreus' heart to ressurect Dionysus (which was also killed)

    I love the subtle application of modern songs to these ancient myths. Gods are so often spoken of with such reverence and vague mystery that it's hard to see them as having personality and I think the songs really fix that problem.

      I actually feel the opposite of the Greek gods. They have so much personality and such easy to see faults, that I actually have a hard time seeing them as being seriously worshiped.

      @TheAwakeOrangutang Well, if you believed they existed as the ancient Greeks did, it actually​ makes a lot of sense. The Greek gods had emotions, they could grieve, feel anger, play favorites, etc. so if you decided to oppose them, you would probably die a horrible, horrible death. If a god liked you, on the other hand, they would often give you things.
