** Given that the final Aspect of each Infernal Arms is of a future wielder, this seems unlikely. The timelines don't quite line up for that to work.

Just as Zagreus constantly struggles to leave the underworld because ''there is no escape'' from his father's domain, Melinoë will continuously attempt to overcome Chronos ''the Titan of Time itself.'' "Time Cannot Be Stopped" will be repeated every time she is defeated.

While this is very unlikely, the idea of Nyx going out of her way to help Zagreus feels suspicious to me. Sure, it could be her just being nice, but she does practically everything to ensure that not only Zagreus remains alive, but that he completes his mission. Perhaps she has something to gain from the Cthonic gods and the Olympians going to war with each other?

** Assuming the game follows the mythology post Minotaur slaying, Ariadne is currently living the high life on Olympus as Dionysus’ immortal wife, making this theory unlikely

WMG pages can be Spoilers Off as well. I think it's for consistency's sake to apply it here and add the header just like what's done with the other spoilers-off pages of this game.


!Per wiki policy, Administrivia/SpoilersOff applies here and all spoilers are unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned.



A rather straightforward theory given real-world mythology. Zagreus and Dionysus have been established as the same individual for many real-world myths, with Dionysus often being portrayed as the son of Hades [[spoiler:and Persephone]]. In turn, Dionysus also frequently is associated with the same concepts of death and rebirth that are so critical to Zagreus in this game. The conspicuous lack of Dionysus elsewhere means Zagreus could take the name for himself... And pick up a wine cult in the process.

Another interpretation that isn't considered in game, however, is that there will never need to be an heir once Hades steps down. Achilles theorizes both in his codex and in-game that Zagreus is the god of [[spoiler:blood and life]]. He is mostly right. Zagreus is also described by Greek mythology as being the god of rebirth.

Zagreus is only just recently beginning to accept himself as a god in game, and has not had the time or moral support needed to really explore his dominion of blood and life. With the game's [[spoiler:true ending]], we can assume that he will eventually find out about his true powers and purpose as a god and create what will later be known as the cycle of reincarnation, not only saving the souls trapped in the river Styx, but making it so that there is no need for an Underworld, aside from being a place where souls pass through before they are reborn.
