Hades Persuasive Speech

Improved Essays
Hades wanted a bride. No. He only had one girl in mind: Persephone. She’s the only girl that he desired. Hades didn’t care that she was his niece, after all marrying and having lovers in the family was common for Greek gods. And Persephone’s parents were Demeter and Zeus, which were related as siblings. Everyday he observed her as she went about her day. And everyday he wanted to stop her and profess his love for her. Although, deep in the back of his mind he knew that Demeter would never allow her fourteen year old daughter to be dragged down to the Underworld. A place that could never see the sun. She didn’t want her beautiful daughter, that she treasured to be taken to such a dark and scary place. So for a while Hades stayed away from Persephone. …show more content…
He felt remorse, but he just couldn’t help it. Persephone inspired Hades like a dog inspires a rabbit, whether that be good or bad.
So he went through with the idea, that terrible idea. All for the sake of love. All for the sake of being noticed by the one he loved. It is said by many that you are invisible to the person that you love the most, and for Hades that deemed true. After that civilization had completely disappeared thanks to Hades, Persephone DID notice him, but not in a good way.
“Oh my god… HADES! What the hell are you torturing those innocent people for???”. Dear god, he’s made their whole city disappear.
“PERSEPHONE!…. I just wanted you to love me the way I love you.” I literally just lost any chance with her didn’t I? Crap.
“You know, I was actually CONSIDERING getting into a marriage with you… but after seeing the way you behave when you get angry… I don’t think that I could ever go through with being your queen.”. I was legit thinking about it too… oh well.
“NOOOOOOOO!…. I’m so sorry my queen… oh my baby.”\(^-^)/
Please come to me, baby won’t you come my

Now he honestly didn’t know what to do for her, he felt so bad once he saw all that blood on the ground. The blood of his innocent and poor victims. Hades managed to gather up all the blood into buckets. He was not proud of what he had done and didn’t want anyone to see it. Where could I dispose of all this blood so that no one will know? Hmm…. No one knows why he decided to dispose of it on the moon. Hades thought of dumping it in the ocean, but then Poseidon, his brother which was god of the Sea would notice the red tint in the sea. And he couldn’t put it anywhere where he lived, which was in the heavens, because his OTHER brother Zeus would notice. Zeus could see everything, as he was god of all the Olympians. So that meant that he had connections everywhere. So he took it to the moon. He originally planned to bury it under layers of the moon, but he decided that it was alot of work. So Hades just dumped it all around, and after just covered it with dirt that he found on the moon. But every so often, there comes a big gust of wind, roughly every 18 years or so. So every 18 years when that big gust of wind comes it blows away all of the dirt that covers the blood. All of that coverage that Hades put on top of it disappears and you can see the “Blood Moon”. And gradually after this event Hades appears and tries to cover all of the blood, for he still regrets killing all those people. But people still notice, they just don’t realise that it’s

    Based on the conflict between Artemis and Aphrodite in Hippolytus, the conclusion which can be drawn is that the Greeks perceived their gods to be selfish, amoral, vengeful and petty, pursuing their own goals in disregard of the moral and responsible path and killing humans to attack the deities which favored said humans; the conflict between Demeter and the rest of the Olympian gods in Hymn to Demeter reinforces the notion that the gods did not care for mortals when solving conflicts between each other, and used mortals as a way to attack each other; and from the conflict between Apollo and the Furies in The Furies, the conclusion is that the Greeks believe the deities will not go to the point of actually harming each other directly, but will…
