There's lots of negative shit online. Felt like this community was needed. Post quotes (Yes the lame positive ones), uplifting thoughts, pictures, poems, or words of Inspiration and positive memes.

I'd imagine they might not feel the need to elaborate with stories about how being kidnapped as the devil's bride is miserable, unless it leads to a daring escape.

There are no devils in Greek mythology. It is from later christian influence why there appears an association of Hades with a devil like Satan, like in Disney's Hercules. There are daemons, which are not gods and are not necessarily evil.

Also most classic Greeks were probably more terrified of Persephone than of Hades, for example see Odysseus when going through the underworld.
