hynpos’ 2 week myth event Day 2: Favourite Greek/Roman deity pair/group: Hades and Persephone, King and Queen of the Underworld

greek mythology → nyx family tree

   and there the children of dark night have their dwellings, sleep and death, awful gods. the glowing sun never looks upon them with his beams, neither as he goes      up into heaven, nor as he comes      down from heaven. and the former of them roams peacefully over the earth and the sea’s broad back and is kindly to men; but the other has a      heart of iron, and his spirit within him is      pitiless as bronze: whomsoever of men he has once seized he holds fast — and he is hateful even to the deathless gods.
