*** YMMV, but Hades was actually a pretty good husband compared to his brothers Poseidon and Zeus, who sleep around with anything they can get their hands on. In some respects, [[FridgeBrilliance Persephone was lucky to end up with a loyal, loving husband such as Hades]]. Even Helios suggests that it is not a bad pairing.
*** Hades was basically the nerdy kid with two jock brothers who always demanded arm wrestling (or in this case chariot racing) be used to solve disputes, complete with living in the basement and only coming out once in a while.
*** In fact, some versions of the myth have Persephone falling in love with Hades and deliberately eating the pomegranate seeds so she could stay with him.
