![]() Granted, these sorts of connections likely wouldn't add anything to the story, rather confusing it more in an unnecessary way, but it is still very odd to think about. This means that Hades is simultaneously Zagreus' father and his great uncle, another concept which Supergiant Games felt it was best not to explore. As Zeus's brother, Hades is actually also Persephone's uncle, and Persephone is his niece. Naturally, this has interesting implications for Hades as well. In the game, she is obviously simply referred to as mother, and the question of who her father is isn't brought up. This means that she is not only Zagreus' mother, but also his cousin, as she is his Uncle Zeus' daughter. Persephone is the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, Queen of the Underworld, and Goddess of grains and fertility. This concept is at the heart of the story, but Persephone and Zagreus' relationship isn't so simple. It doesn't take long for fans to discover that the real reason Zagreus is trying to escape the underworld is to reunite with his long lost mother, Persephone. RELATED: Hades: Best Pact of Punishment Conditions Zagreus and Persephone Until players have discovered who Zagreus' mother and grandmother are, they should turn back. Minor spoilers ahead for the main story of Hades, as exploring Zagreus' family ties is integral to the story of the game as a whole. Especially when it comes to Zagreus, there are some very odd connections. Given that there are so few gods involved at the start of creation, many of the well known gods that players have come to know are actually the result of inbreeding. In case fans haven't read up on the Olympian creation myth yet, it quite frankly has a lot of incest. This results in a few characters having multiple different connections to the main character, Zagreus. This is probably for the best as these family ties are very taboo in today's society, but to the ancient greeks they weren't uncommon. The game places a lot of importance on these familial connections, being sure to always refer to Zeus and Poseidon as uncle or Hermes as Cousin, but there are some strange connections within that Supergiant has so far chosen to ignore. Throughout their time with Hades, players will get a chance to know Zagreus' eccentric and often overbearing extended family.
