Values Dissonance/Other Media: Difference between revisions

* [[Everybody Hates Hades|Hades]] is often viewed by modern myth buffs as being [[The Woobie]], despite being the default [[God of Evil]] in [[Hercules (Disney film)|modern pop culture adaptations of]] [[Classical Mythology]] because [[Hijacked by Jesus|Medieval Christianity]], with its practice of demonizing pagan religions, decided to associate him with Hell. The funny thing is the Ancient Greeks themselves didn't like Hades that much - they'd [[He Who Must Not Be Named|attempt to not speak his name]] and look away when making sacrifices in his name. Meanwhile, guys that are commonly considered [[Jerkass|assholes]] today, like [[Jerkass Gods|Zeus, Poseidon and Hera]], were viewed with great respect by the ancient Greeks. About the only Greek god modern audiences and the Ancient Greeks had the same opinion (read: [[The Scrappy|hatred]]) of is [[God of War|Ares]], and ''he'' was given the [[Draco in Leather Pants]] treatment by the Romans!
