Then, my guesses are not so wrong,
i'm starting to worry, because u think
i'm becoming a hard to satisfy man hahaha
that's not good, I shall try not to be
such a critical onlooker in everything :/ hahaha
Yeah, i know that the old greek gods were almost human
i know too they were not too divine, nor to wise,
just yesterday i was reading about Eros in theoi,
and i discovered that he, as a ascal kid, was pretty cheater
and as a teenager, he was kinda strong
(another argument to say that he is son of Hephaistos,
a noble smith, a divine creator, and not of
Ares, a violent destructor and killer,
by the way, i don't hate Ares, i only think
that he can be handsome, but he does not fit as father of Eros... hahah
sorry about that, but I like the character of Eros and Hephaistos
in my stories, and i was writting too, then, i was doing some research)
Yes, i thought of Minthe too, to be his very first lover
but then i changed my mind, because she was pretty conceited
and thought she was better than Persephone.
That does means that she was there when Hades started
to like Persephone or either, after that, as a lover (concubine) of him.
And his words, and the wrath of Persephone that followed,
transformed her into the plant she is named after.
About Leuke i haven't found too much information
so, i assume it'is easier to play with her as a character
(because ther is very little information about her)
than the vain Minthe, althought, you can choose her too
I like Leuke because her name does means "white poplar"
and i imagine her white haired, like Hades
thus matching with him perfectly haha
Also, Hades choose the white poplar as his sacred tree
and he let it grow along the Acheron, river of pain.
I think, indeed, he really loved her a lot.
(Persephone has nothing to do with this myth,
so i think i can assume it happened before he meet her
and he wasn't so grateful with Minthe either)
