| 18 Jul 2002 |  Lisa Coleman | This is great. For the curious, Pirithous was a pal of Theseus, and they decided to marry daughters of Zeus. Theseus kidnapped a young Helen,and Pirithous got the crazy idea that he'd get Persephone. So the two of them went down to Hades, where Hades must have been like "idiots." and had them sit in these chairs, where they remained until Heracles busted Theseus out. But Pirithous was persecuted for his hubris forever. | |
| 28 Aug 2002 | Simon | Cool pic...I like the way that you've manipulated the composition - like the way the Hades and Persephone are both facing away from Pirithous...I'm a little puzzled as to why you spelt it "Ades" though... | |

| 25 Oct 2005 | Ally | We get the English "Hades" from a Greek word that transliterates to "Ades"--our "H" is is the Greek "eta" [looks like an H] with rough breathing, which [as I understand] modern Greek does not use.
That said, this is great, a very nice documentation of the punishment of Pirithus. Is there a reason that Hades is always pictured bluish? Most depictions I've seen of him are blue-black and I can't remember a mythological reference to that. Is it just because it's a cold, dark color combination that reflects his personality? | |
