### **Rival**

• Minthe - Minthe was Hades’ formed love who is still over him. She is extremely jealous of Persephone and Hades’ relationship and will go to great lengths to ruin them.

Persephone dislikes Minthe for this conflict and the two are constantly in a rivalry to win Hades’ heart.

## History

### Episode 1

In the Pilot Episode, Persephone is first seen in the school fields with Demeter and Dionysus. She watches Eris land and quickly retreats. She is later seen in the hallways of Olympus with Demeter. Hades then approaches her and asks to meet him near the fountain later. Persephone sadly rejects the offer, with Minthe quietly spying on the two from behind. Afterwards, she and Demeter stare at Eris’ arrival in fright . She later attends the welcoming ceremony with the other students.

### Episode 2

While out picking crops with Demeter, Persephone hears a voice from the nearby willow tree, whispering her name. She quickly realizes the voice belongs to Hades and excuses herself to go see him. Under the willow tree, Hades reveals himself and tries to confess their love for each other, but Persephone forcefully rejects him with guilt. After Hades left, Minthe appears and berates Persephone for not staying away from Hades like she was told to. Demeter then interrupts their conversation and the two leave together while Minthe disappears.

### Episode 3

After learning that the Aloads are attacking Olympus, Persephone tries to reach out to Hades before he leaves to fight, but Minthe intervenes to hug him, leaving Persephone depressed. She later takes refuge in the temple with the other students during the attack, sitting beside Demeter. When her friend points out her assumption of Hades and Minthe being together again, Persephone angrily asks why it matters to her.

### Episode 4

Following the Aloads’ defeat, Persephone is seen talking with Minthe in the woods. They continue to argue about their feelings for Hades. Having enough, Persephone tells Minthe that she plans to tell Hades everything, which Minthe also plans to do in return. Their conversation is suddenly interrupted by Echo, who heard everything and accidentally crash lands into them. Knowing the nymph will expose their secret, Persephone and Minthe follow Echo and plan to stop her. Before they can catch her, Hades emerges from the Underworld with Hermes. The sight causes Persephone to blissfully grow flowers by accident. She quickly grabs Echo as she is about to reach out to Hermes and tosses her away. Hades notices Persephone, but Minthe intervenes again before she can speak. While Minthe is distracting Hades, Persephone follows Echo and confronts her, asking why she’s always repeating everything she hears. Echo reveals that she isn’t interested in Persephone’s business and cares about something greater. She refuses to tell the spring goddess and threatens to expose her secrets if she continues to follow her.

## **Trivia**

* In the original mythology, Demeter is actually Persephone's mother. This could be the reason why the creator of the series implied that Demeter treats Persephone like a child.
