The Devil You Know? Why Hades Is Not The Villain | Greek Mythology

Описание: He is the villain in every movie. He is the face of death and darkness. But what if the history books got it wrong? What if the "Bad Guy" was actually the only adult in the room?
In this deep-dive documentary, we descend into the Greek Underworld to reopen the cold case of Hades. For centuries, pop culture and religious mistranslations have painted the King of the Dead as a demon, a schemer, and a monster. But the original myths tell a very different story.
From the brutal reality of the Titanomachy to the truth behind the abduction of Persephone, we analyze the ancient texts to reveal a god who was not evil, but simply inevitable. We compare his moral ledger against the tyrannical Zeus and the vindictive Poseidon to answer the ultimate question: Why do we hate the one god who treats us all equally?
In this video essay, we cover:
🏛️ The Origin: How Hades drew the short straw, not the bad lot.
💀 The Geography: Why the Greek Underworld is NOT the Christian Hell.
🥀 The Controversy: Did he really "kidnap" Persephone? (The truth is complicated).
⚖️ The Trial: Comparing Hades' crimes to Zeus's atrocities.
😈 The Shift: How Disney and Dante turned a bureaucrat into Satan.
