Persephone and Hades: Rulers of the Greek Underworld

The song is Ανάθεμά σε - Anathema se (Damn you) from Pantelis Thalassinos (Παντελής Θαλασσινός).

Persephone (Περσεφόνη) is the daughter of Demeter (Δημήτηρ), who was the goddess of nature. Hades (ᾍδης) abducted her and violated her, and brought her down to the underworld.

Persephone leaves the underwold to go back to her mother Demeter, but then she must return to the underworld. This has important symbolism with the changing of the seasons.

Charon (Χάρων) brings the souls across the river Styx (Στύξ) only if they had their funeral rites performed over them, a ritual that includes leaving coins on the eyes of the deceased.

@LightxKira5643 - Umm... yeah and you assume too much bullshit about strangers. You're sounding just like the evangelist who think they know the ORIGINAL stories to all. Again, you fail to see the point.

Also, it's ridiculously illogical to claim a "male" god has "brutal strength" and power when they're supposed to be esoteric and abstract. XD Since you enjoy insulting others, allow me to assume you must be smoking crack. Lay off it, pal.

[LightxKira5643]

@YourDarkAccomplice She went crying to Zeus. Zeus gave him permission in the first place and Hades is one of the more rich and accomplished gods. He is the god of wealth. I mean the Greeks weren't brutish. You watch to much 300 and stuff, they were rather intelligent. The minotaur was a way to explain the animalistic tendancies of all humans and the myths were highly symbolic on humanity.

Anyway, power still equals right.

You feel it is right because the right governments got power.

[YourDarkAccomplice]

@LightxKira5643 - Indeed. And this was exactly my point when I said that as time evolves mindless brutality counts for nothing. Thus the whole "time machine" and "living back those days" etc. Now, as we evolve we find there are things more advantageous and helpful to society instead of just blatant savagery. So how does that answer my point about some loser coming on YouTube and saying "Hades was awesome, but Demeter was a BITCH"? If anything, she was BRAVE for avenging that brute in those days.

[LightxKira5643]

@YourDarkAccomplice So if a god raped someone and your whole human race couldn't beat the one god, would you try to kill him. If you are surpressed by a government and have to say or power to change, you'd stay quiet if you'd be killed otherwise.

Power = Right

One must deconstruct before they can create.

The environment is destroyed to create what you want.

It has to be balanced, one can't get something without giving something. Heck it's looked at as a sin otherwise.

Good needs evil.

@LightxKira - Your question is irrelevant. And it seems you are only trying to reinforce your own thesis. You claimed I'm a Christian. I state that I'm not. You claimed "because male gods are strong" they're allowed to rape and be bastards, and I ridiculed such a ludicrous logic. You used ad hominem abuses to support your own crappy logic and other lowly nonsense. Now, you're trying to get into the subject of morality? "Right" and "Wrong" are subjective. However, destructive/constructive differ.

[LightxKira5643]

@YourDarkAccomplice You didn't answer my question, you are just restating your thesis. Can you not answer it? Because what is right for some people is wrong for others. Whoever is stronger, that's who's right. They can force their beliefs on others.

[YourDarkAccomplice]

@LightxKira5643 - Aww... are ad hominems the best you can do? Clearly you're too insecure and incomplete to rationally discuss a proper "argument." Then again, you're the imbecile who supports mindless brutality over actually being productive. Heh.. ironic you should call me "insignificant trash." Keep it comin. Before I get bored with you. XD

[LightxKira5643]

@YourDarkAccomplice So who decides what's right? A powerless piece of trash like you who has no significance?
