Demeter is so bitter that her daughter chose her own happiness over HER constant helicopter parenting. Persephone is a better mother to her own children compared to her biological mother.
Honestly, I 100% agree with you on that. I mean, with Persephone, the way she raises Zagreus and Melinoë is that she could care less what they choose to do with their lives so long as they have the choice and they're happy. Like, if Zagreus decides he wants to explore the Underworld and truly see the kingdom he will one day rule over, or Meli decides she wants to take a vow of chastity and become a warrior like her Aunts Artemis and Athena, Persephone will stand by and support them, not stopping or preventing them in any way. It's all a mother could and *should* ask for of her child/children. Demeter on the other hand, raised Persephone to believe that she must always stay by her mother's side. Never straying away, never having her own thoughts or dreams and never believing she can survive in the world without her mother to guide her. She doesn't even care if she rips her daughter's heart out of her chest as long as she falls into her mother's arms when she does. I just hope that in Season 3 *(which we hopefully won't have to wait another 3 1/2 years for😩🙏📿😫🙏📿)*, after everything that's happened and everything that she's done, Persephone finally decides she's had enough with Demeter and her bullsh*t.
@Rikard_A Then you need to read deeper in the Mythos before you label Hades the Devil like EVERYONE ELSE. In the mythos, it was Zeus who supported this “kidnapping” and once Demeter was killing off mortals due to her tantrum he asks Hermes to retrieve Persephone who was safe and fine in the Underworld. A once Hermes explained what was going on in the Mortal Realm, Hades lets Persephone return and like a die hard romantic he vows to be the best husband he can for her. Which is something his brothers, mainly Zeus, FAIL at! So how about I draw list of the many assaults on women and goddesses made by Zeus and Poseidon before you tell ME to read the mythology of Hades and Persephone.
@@meganmcdonald3333 I like your spunk. You tell 'em!!!😌😌🤩🤩 I totally agree with you. Hades was the only *remotely decent man* between the three brothers. Unlike Zeus and Poseidon who *CONSTANTLY* cheated on their wives (though one much more than the other), Hades remained faithful to Persephone and actually shared his power and rule with her. After she married him, it wasn't Hades alone ruling the Underworld with Persephone simply as his pretty consort. They ruled together as a duo. Something that his little brothers would've found too damaging to their already *minuscule* egos.
Demeter is so blind by her own judgement that she doesn’t let her own daughter make her own decisions. She is so protective and so controlling that she doesn’t even listen to Persephone.
Nothing symbolizes Demeter’s selfishness more than how she destroyed Persephone’s gift to Hades. Just looking at it, & knowing Persephone’s powers, there’s no way Demeter didn’t know who made it. But she still destroyed it to both make a point, & so she wouldn’t have to look at it. Her daughter’s happiness has never mattered to her as much as her own ego.
Good point, but there something I don't understand Zeus is dead, the gods aren't united as they once where and she in the underworld alone, I mean come on Hades she in your back garden, so to speak there nothing to stop him form beating her to near death if he wanted to.
@@phil.moloney2980 Except his wife. To kill Demeter is to hurt Persephone beyond repair. Besides, Hades is actually a good person who doesn’t take joy in hurting anyone. Demeter is his sister/mother-in-law. His family too.
Demeter is emotionally abusive. The reason her 'family' is so miserable id because of her own choices. But see how she blames everyone else? And she's destructive.
I wouldn't say that this was a deal. Blackmail would be the better word and title.😊😇 And FYI, Goddess Demeter, losing Hades and becoming a widow wouldn't hurt Persephone. *It would destroy her, and she would NEVER forgive you for it.😡😡*
True and she DEFINITELY WONT FORGIVE Demeter as she has kids she has to take care of and have to deal with depression with the huge responsibility of the Underworld.
Imagine Aphrodite gets so angry that she curses Demeter, Hades and Persephone into a life without love, desire and beauty. Letting then only hate and resentment.
@@persephrotisv.2655 because Demeter poisoned her and her lover, probably their children too. Aphrodite had one true love named Adonis and he was taken away from her, in some version by Persephone.
Well if the plan succeeded, and assuming Demeter didn't betray Hades by killing him. Persephone would get to remain with Hades and her children forever while also being with her mother. Despite their disagreement about marrying Hades, Persephone does still love her mother.
@@TimberlakeTigerGirl Yeah, sure, but she could wait to have Persephone present when striking this deal (which was blackmail). Thus the emphasis on "the three of us, you and I win". Given how Demeter acts in this story, she only wants her daughter by her side and assuming her betrayal is a given.
Wish we could see Demeter get punished in the next season, seeing her trying to destroy Hades and Persephone’s relationship is pissing me off Hades and Persephone deserve better than this, I support them forever 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Darn it. She didn't have to mess with the tree!! Also Demeter knows how much Persephone loves her husband and she still doesn't care! Look, I don't hate Demeter she is quite interesting and I hope there's more of her in season 3. But the contempt she has for Hades and Persephone's relationship is insane. Let your daughter be happy and be with her family! Demeter could also enjoy her grandchildren but that's another thing she doesn't care about💀 I know it sounds like I'm complaining, but actually I enjoy this familiar drama. It only makes my otp stronger lol
I read some of Greek mythology and Demeter was one of my favorites. So when this show made her evil and selfish, I can't bring myself to hate her. But i like the changes this series made. Story and characters are very interesting. It's very impressive this show made Demeter, a side character who was rarely on screen in season 1 to the most despiteful villain in season 2.
this is one of the big three right, i mean yeah she was blackmailing him but it made it seem like she was more powerful, she destroyed something his domain even. feel like he should literally be able to emanate an aura of power to shut her up.
Demeter is the basically the goddess that could destroy Earth on a whim if she wanted to because she controls the ecosystem. All 6 children of Cronos and Rhea are the most powerful of the gods, and they can stand on equal ground to each other. Hades is no more powerful than Demeter and if they fought, it would be standstill and it would cause devastation to both Earth and the Underworld.

Persephone was kidnappad. Read the mythology.

That was a gift from Persephone, I thought it was the couple that Zeus turned into trees (Baucis and Philemon)?

If she was a mother she would have accepted her daughter’s marriage and been happy knowing that she is happy

@@kevin-2.1 all this conversation is about this video and stupid show. This series is a pure chaos about the greek mythology.
Keep it coming with more videos from blood of Zeus season 2. My favorite show on Netflix.
Hades should know better than to trust the word of a mother in law. 😆
She also happens to be his sister!!! 😅😅😅
@@pascalhicks4376 what in the Game of Thrones hell is this show then?
@@devilpupbear09 just greek mythology in a nutshell

Wait till you hear that Gaia is Uranus' mother and also wife.

Underhanded but surprisingly not unreasonable. But still her motives are completely selfish
@@lotusgal313 I agree as Demeter is probably black mailing Hades for power and later on backstab him for more.
2:16 Hades really wants to live with his mother-in-law in the same house for all eternity? She will drive him crazy in a few weeks.
A bittersweet deal. And don’t think I’m talking from Demeter’s point of view.
More Apollo scenes pls❤
Darn it. She didn't have to mess with the tree!!

Another great scene mate, also if you’re taking suggestions, I’d really like to see Zeus’s spirit speech on Olympus.
If this plan was successful im sure demeter would kill hades for sure
There was a reason the titans were overthrown
Nice
Thanks

❤❤❤❤❤❤
Demeter in this series gives mothers everywhere a bad name.
Demeter is more evil than hades
Did she just call him an a-hole?
And now this is why i dont like demeter anymore
I mean the show did her dirty
Another reason y Demeter was so over bearing with Kore was due to her own self guilt over abandoning her eldest daughter (The goddes of winter)
