hades and persephone 1 by sandara hades and persephone 1 by sandara
uhmmmm since people are asking...

these 2 are hades and persephone, just prior to him abducting her. (thats' why he's staring like that)

i don't know if i'll finish up the pic... this roughwork thingy seems to be growing into a new style. i think i'll go back and fix his cloak though... it looks funny.

My favorite anti-hero in the greek world. Swoon. Lucky Persephone. Beautiful work sketchyness and all (Hell I think I like this better than a finished polished piece) I really like that his grass is not dead, he is in the elysian fields where I would imagine she would be happiest in the underworld.

Seeing this pic is kinda reinspiring me to go ahead and write an article on the various different versions of the Hades and Persephone myth.

Hades: The only one of two Olympians who really AREN'T complete and total dicks, the other being Artemis.
 Now to comment on the art itself, I adore it. ^^ A wonderful image that shows the pure duality of this mythological couple. The designs of Hades being pale and dark and vampiric and Persephone as a lively red haired dryad really help to emphasize that. But my favorite detail in this is the faces. The way they look at each other helps show their feelings towards the situation of how Persephone was still forced into marriage with Hades, and Hades kinda looks more disappointing that she doesn't love him as he loves her. Although that could be me.
Overall, a wonderful piece that I'd be willing to hang on my wall.

I've had this on my computer for years because I loved the dichotomy of it so much but I never knew where it came from. I'm so glad I finally found its origin so that I can tell you how beautiful I think it is!

This is really amazing looking! What a nice way to blur the lines of light and dark, warm and cool. I always liked the story of these two the most in the mythology books I read (devoured) in the libraries. I think in high school I read every single mythology book they had in the library. You really captured them nicely in this image, that curiosity of meeting someone so utterly different from themselves.

Hades: (Afflicted by Eros' lust arrows cuz a bet with Apollo) Hey bro, I want to bang your daughter/sister... who is also my niece/sister
Zeus: Sure bro, go ahead
Hades: *rapes Persephone* (both metaphorically and literally)
Demeter: Zeus! Da fuq happened to my daughter/sister?!
Zeus: gave her to Hades
Demeter: Fuck you! *brings winter and famine* Give her back!
Zeus: Fuck... fine (only because humans aren't burning shit for himme cuz famine)
Zeus: Hades, give her back bro
Hades: K but only if she hadn't eaten anything (she's been there for like 3 months at least)
Hades: (to Persephone) here have a pomegranate
Demeter: Fuck you Hades!
Hades: Ha! Now she has to be my captive-rape-thing for 1/3 of the year!

This has been a favorite picture of mine for YEARS! I saw it first on Google images. I recently created a DA account, and behold, there it is! There is much to be said about the story shared between their eyes. The contrast of light and shadow is tangible. Challenge, curiosity, and two worlds apart. I adore this!!

Excuse me for just now pushing the fave button; this has been a favorite of mine for a very long time.

To tell the truth, I had always thought this was a picture of the couple after the abduction. And, judging by their expressions,  the relationship has not worked out the way he had hoped. (Pomegranite seeds or not...)

Hades looks like Alucard from Castlevania: Symphony of The Night.

It's not a bad thing, I like his appearance. Elegant and beautiful (Manly beautiful)
