Ja, Hades wordt algemeen beschouwd als een LGBTQ+-vriendelijke game en bevat expliciete queer inhoud.
The paucity of positive, deliberate, unambiguous depictions of queer people and queer relationships in mainstream media meant that Hades shone all the brighter by featuring a bisexual protagonist, Zagreus, and offering the possibility of a polyamorous relationship among Zagreus, Megaera, and Thanatos.
In Hades, Zagreus can romance Thanatos, Megaera — or pursue both relationships at once with no penalty. Queer polyamory in a Greek myth roguelike?
Afraid the Olympians would punish his family if they learned what transpired, Hades kept his wife and son a secret—never revealing to Persephone that, thanks to the goddess Nyx, Zagreus was reborn.
Homosexuality and bisexuality
Apollo was also called "the champion of male love" by Andrew Callimach. Other gods are sometimes considered patrons of homosexual love between males, such as the love goddess Aphrodite and gods in her retinue, such as the Erotes: Eros, Himeros, Anteros and Pothos.
He hated Ares because Ares was the poster-child of suffering and pain. In The Iliad , Zeus literally tells Ares that he's the most hateful god on Olympus, and that if he had been anyone else's son Zeus would have already killed him.
Zagreus has been generally positively received, identified as a standout LGBT character for his bisexuality and polyamory. These aspects were particularly praised, with critics noting how uncommon it was for them to be depicted positively.
With her mother, she knew contentment - but with him, she was Queen of the Dead. This myth seems, on first glance, disturbing. Upon closer study, it's still disturbing – but more interesting. And it's even arguable that Hades and Persephone had a true romance – a rarity in the world of the Roman gods.
Hades has a bitter relationship with his son, considering him a disappointment. In the past, he tried various methods to strengthen Zagreus and shape him according to his ideals.
You're going to die *a lot* at the beginning, but you'll learn and get stronger with each run, as well as experiencing the story line. Don't give up!
Depending on the player's choices, all three can enter a polyamorous relationship. Both Megaera and Thanatos are comfortable with this dynamic. At one point, Meg and Thanatos have a private conversation and come to an agreement.
Are there another other endings? The credits only roll once, there is your ending. "Ending 1" isn't an ending at all, not sure why you would really consider that one, especially just that one and not the other 8. "Ending 3" is called the epilogue.

Pindar calls Orpheus 'the father of songs' and identifies him as a son of the Thracian mythological king Oeagrus and the Muse Calliope.
1: Hades was not hated by the Olympians, that is true, only Demeter hated him, and possibly Persephone for obvious reasons.
Yes, Greek mythology is rich with LGBTQ+ themes, featuring numerous gods, heroes, and mortals in same-sex relationships, alongside figures demonstrating gender fluidity, androgyny, and bisexuality, reflecting ancient Greek acceptance of diverse sexualities and gender expressions, especially in homoerotic bonds between men, though less commonly for women. Key examples include Zeus and Ganymedes, Apollo and Hyacinthus, Achilles and Patroclus, and Heracles' many male lovers, alongside gender-bending figures like Hermaphroditus.

There are six eligible heart-throbs in Hades 2 that you can forge a relationship with in Hades 2, romantic or otherwise. Most of these characters are accessible via the Crossroads very early on, but one will join you there much later.
“Hades” is an amazing game, even outside of the fact that it contains great queer representation. I like that Zagreus's story doesn't revolve around him being queer; he just happens to be a queer character following his own story, just like any of us.
Zagreus grew up in an emotionally abusive household, partially. For as much as Hades mistreated Zagreus, he also made sure that he was taken care of by Nyx and the other member of the house.

Zeus barely makes it to number three. He fathered forty-one Gods including Aries, Persephone and Dionasis who he gave birth himself from his leg. He also had 51 mortal children like Helen of Troy or Perseus. That's a total of 92 kids for the king of the Gods.
Althought Athena is a virgin goddess, she mothered the god Erichthonios by Hephaestus. According to myth, she went to Hephaestus wanting some weapons forged. When Hephaestus tried to rape her, she protected her virginity and he ejaculated on her leg. She wiped it off with a piece of wool, throwing it onto the ground.
It is often mentioned how Ares didn't rape somebody in Greek mythology (at least in the myths that aren't lost) unlike the other major male deities. The closest thing we have to him committing rape is his Roman counterpart, Mars, raping Rhea Silivia.
