You may know Persephone by her maiden name of Kore, she was a daughter of Zeus. The story tries to give an explanation to the change in the seasons. We all know the story of Persephone, Demeter and Hades.
The comic of Hades is more like the comic of Zeus it follows a main story unlike the previous numbers that have more than one story. He rules the Underworld from his ebony throne. You are ruled by the god that shares the name with the place that have become your new home. You will be another of the anonymous shades of the field. Once you drink from the water, you will forget your memories, your dreams, your thought and fears, all that you were will be gone. If you haven’t offend the gods you will join the other shades in the field of Asphodel where the river Lethe is. Ixion the first murdered, the giant Tityus, the Danaids, and Sixplos among others. Some of the residents of Tartaros are the Hekatonchires who guard the Titan. If you offend the gods, during your life, you will go to Tartaros along with the other offenders. Here and there, among the anonymous shades some are set apart. Once there, he will leave you on the shores of Erebus, with even more shades than those at the shores of Styx. Without a payment he will not take you to the other side and you will have to wait a hundred years in the shore.Ĭharon will take you to the Underworld which is guarded by Cerberus, the three headed dog with his serpent tail. Hopefully, your loved ones will place a coin in your mouth when you died, for this is Charon’s payment. You wait for your turn for the ferryman Charon. He takes you to the banks of the River Styx, where there is already more shades of dead people. You open your eyes and Hermes’ psychopompos is there to guide you to what is to come next.
