Greek gods represent several things, usually. Demeter has been connected to health, birth, and marriage, because in Greek myths, life, nature, and motherhood (and thus many, many different goddesses, because women couldn’t be anything else back then, I guess) are deeply interconnected thanks to the philosophy of the time.
If you want it to be the wilds/wilderness, Artemis is right there and far more widespread as representing wilderness.
fair enough
I walk into this topic thinking someone else is finally pointing out that Poseidon Zeus and hades are literally already intended to represent that trio of sky sea and earth and am hit by this absolutely flabbergasting take
THEY LITERALLY HAVE MATCHING POLEARMS I SWEAR TO GOD
To be clear on this I am aware hades does not have exclusive control over the earth but that’s because it was gifted to the trio equally (and not other ones) and thus still falls into their domain
honestly hades is probably against the dark sea going away and wouldn’t participate in getting rid of it given he sorta caused (whatever durzas new name is) to geek out in the first place
Yes but the idea of using that motif of the three domains of gods when you’ve already ruled it out via characterization of hades is dumb
We forget hades was the super uber bad guy in AA controlling durza. Hollywood got to vetex and corrupted his vision of hades to him 
we cant get hades’ soul tho because hes still alive at this point in the story
I thought the peace keeper killed him by now.
Nope, that doesn’t happen until right around the time AO will end

Ah. Oh well he’s still a super duper evil guy cause… yeah.
I really hope Vetex gives it a proper reason. I’ve already decided in my rewrite(s) that it’s mostly caused by grief (or his brain getting screwed with by Mysterious Thing from the lore doc, or sometimes both), but literally any halfway decent explanation would be better than this
I just simply Wouldn’t have him evil. It’s a Cope out in the story like “oh no durza wasn’t the bad guy HADES WAS!” And in Greek lore hades isn’t a bad guy. He’s imo the best of the 3 brothers.
That doesn’t magically make pan make sense
I get that, but honestly—and I say this as his #1 fan!!!—Acheron as his own villain with no motivation other than the vague “get powerful” is pretty boring
I feel like it’s easier and better to give him a reason then completely butchering hades as a character
Like that’s a high bar
If I had to guess Hades snapped when his wife got slimed out and that’s why he’s evil now (given the assumption Persephone is dead)
It would be so funny if this were true, purely because we already got somebody like that in AO with Allanon.
