Persephone recognizes this as a ploy to make Demeter choose Hermes over Hades for P-Phone's husband, and convinces her not to fall for it.
* AltarTheSpeed: Hades and Persephone have to reschedule and relocate their wedding when her parents reach the Underworld sooner than expected, after bribing Hermes to show them the shortcut.
* ArmorPiercingQuestion: After Cupid reveals that he helped Persephone win Hades' love by shooting him with an arrow, Hades becomes pressured into deciding whether or not he truly loves Persephone, especially since the magic of that arrow wore off three days after Cupid fired it.
* ClassifiedInformation: Even when under interrogation, Cupid refuses to reveal his formula for love.
* FoodAsBribe: In the first chapter, Persephone offers Hades a pickle in exchange for a visit to the Underworld.
* FourthDateMarriage: Hades proposes to Persephone after only dating her twice, at most -- Persephone pays Cupid to shoot him when she brings him to a picnic.
* GoldDigger: Uncle Shiner suspects Persephone of courting Hades mainly to become Queen of the Underworld, until she assures everyone, under an oath of honesty, that she just wants to [[MarryForLove marry Hades for love]].
* HiddenDepths:
** Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, also seems adept at technology when she invents the cell phone -- initially to keep tabs on Persephone, though the other gods also buy some phones to communicate in the next few books.
** King di Minos, {{the judge}} of the Underworld, also moonlights as a SupremeChef.

* MyBelovedSmother: Demeter constantly dotes on Persephone before the latter becomes Queen of the Underworld (separating them for at least three months each year).
* PickyEater: Persephone. Zeus even states that this is [[MeaningfulName the meaning of her name]]! Indeed, Persephone is less than willing to eat Underworld food.
