* EverybodyHatesHades: In "Orpheus and Eurydice" Hades is portrayed as cruel and heartless, only persuaded to release Eurydice by his wife Persephone when in most versions of the story (and indeed Greek mythology in general) Hades is stern but not cruel and was moved by Orpheus' song himself. Also Persephone is depicted as hating and fearing her husband when the original myths generally show the two as one of the few genuinely loving and happy couples among the gods.
