## Plot

After asking his normal question of the video this one being about loneliness and relationships Jake Doubleyoo gets started on the episode.

After the war of Titanomachy each of the gods got to choose what they would be in charge of, Hades however didn't as everyone chose before he could. So he was simply sent to work in the afterlife which he named Hades after himself where dead people got to hang out after dying. Which there were many types of dead people good, bad, heroic, and cowardly and each one got its own afterlife relating to the person. The good people got to go to an afterlife where they just chilled out, the bad people got to go to an afterlife where they suffered for eternity, the coward people got a similar afterlife to the bad ones except they were scared for eternity without relief of a heart attack. Hades however was lonely in Hades when one day his saw his niece Persephone and fell in love with her, so he asked his brother her father Zeus if he could marry her and Zeus gave him permission.

So while Persephone was hanging out with her friends the Oceanids he snatched her when she wondered off and Demeter, Hades sister, Persephone's mother heard the screams after she was snatched and began looking for her. Demeter then asked Helios the sun god what happened to her and he informed her while also trying to calm her down that Persephone had been taken by Hades which Demeter got very mad at but Helios and the other gods disagreed with her. This made Demeter really sad so she disguised herself as an old lady and got a job as a nanny for a child named Demophoon, however she was fired from this job because she had some extreme parenting methods the parents weren't a fan of. So she had the parents build her a temple so she didn't have to go back to Mount Olympus and while there she became super depressed and forgot to make plants grow which became a problem for the humans.

Eventually the gods noticed they weren't getting their offerings as normal and when they tried to get some to get Demeter out of her depressed state she waved them away. So Hermes was sent to see if he could get Persephone back and while Hades and Persephone were trying to figure out how to punish a man who tried to trick the gods into eating his son, Hermes interrupted and Hades allowed Persephone to go back up so the underworld wouldn't reach max compacity but before she left had her eat pomegranate seeds. This meant that she had to come back to the underworld with him so they took the matter to Zeus who agreed that for most of the year Persephpone would be with Demeter and then for the end of the year and the beginning of a new one she would spend her times with Hades.
