“His descent was like nightfall.” —Homer, The Iliad
“To what do I owe your visit, and what can I do to prevent it in the future?”
“Tell Dionysus I’d be happy to chat about his recent acquisition at a time that is most convenient for him.” “No one talks like that anymore, Hades.” “I just did,” he replied. “And look how long it took you to get a girlfriend.”
“I want you to watch Persephone,” Hades instructed. “Keep her occupied while I talk to Apollo.” Hermes raised his skeptical brow. “Because you’re so good at conversing?” “That’s a big word, Hermes,” Hades replied. “Have you been reading a thesaurus?”
“We do not make up for hurt with hurt, Persephone. That is a god’s game. We are lovers.”
“There are few truths in this world,” he said, “but the one you must always remember is that I love you.”
grief was strange, and it transformed emotions into monsters.
“It’s survival of the fittest, Hades,” Zeus said at last. “Always has been, always will be.”
